Abstract

A translation of a compilation by Simon Goulart of Senlis supplementing Amyot's French translation of Plutarch's "Lives". The nine lives attributed to Emylius Probus are in fact from the "Vitae excellentium imperatorum" of Cornelius Nepos. The last two leaves are blank. In a variant, issued with STC 20068-20068b, the imprint date is 1603 and the last two leaves begin an index. Reproduction of the original in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery.
