Antwerp issue of the original and only edition of the collected works of L. Fruterius edited by Janus Dousa Sr. The edition was printed in Leiden, but a number of copies received a title-page of Antwerp. Fruytier was born at Bruges in 1541. He went to Paris to study Law and classical literature and was a brilliant student. Van der Aa: 'Hij was, naar het oordeel van Justus Lipsius, een der grootste geesten, die de Nederlanden hebben voortgebracht. Reeds in zijne jeugd bezat hij eene geleerdheid, die anderen in hunnen ouderdom soms niet bereiken.' Na zijn dood werd dit boek uitgegeven door Johan van der Does
