H.J. Rose A handbook of Greek literature London 1965 p. 302 The translation was made by the Dutch schoolman Hendrik Frieseman born ca. 1755. Later in life he succeeded in obtaining the rectorship of the 'Schola Latina' of Harderwijk where he died in 1821. Van der Aa 16252 In his short preface Frieseman tells us that he used for his translation the text of Duker. This must be the very learned edition with text and exhaustive commentary produced by Carolus Andreas Duker Amsterdam 1731. Frieseman tried he says to imitate the compact and succinct style of the Greek historian and tried to avoid the loose and 'agreable' style of the translation of the Frenchmen Ablancourt first published in 1662. He reproaches the famous Ablancourt that he occasionaly seems to contradict and improve Thucydides which is not the task of the translator Provenance: stamp on title: 'Bibliotheek Aloysius-college s'-Gravenhage' and of 'Bibl.-Gymn. Catv.' this must be the Sint Wilbrordus Gymnasium at Katwijk Collation: 4 A-2C8 2D4; pi1 A-2G8 2H2 2I1 Photographs on request hardcover
