Important edition with new comments by Burman and with a corrected text according to Bentley and Hare, but based on Burman´s second edition from 1718. With an appendix containing critical notes by Richard Bentley. A celebrated edition, according to Dibdin. The second work is an open letter by Burman and a critical examination of Capperonne´s edition of Quintillianus´ "Institutione orator", published in 1726, and especially concerning the latter´s notes on Quintillianus, which - according to Schweiger II, p. 844-5 (and Burman) - are quite worthless , "... in welchem Briefe mancher gegrundete Tadel enthalten ist". It´s also a response to the criticism Capperonne is giving to Burman´s own edition of Quintilianus from 1720.
