DRAKENBORCH, ARNOLD (1684-1748)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 474 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DRAKENBORCH, ARNOLD (1684-1748) , Dutch classical scholar, was born at
Utrecht
  on the 1st of January 1684. Having studied philology under Graevius and Burmann the
elder
 , and law under Cornelius Van Eck, in 1716 he succeeded Burmann in his professorship (conjointly with C. A.
Duker
 ), which he continued to hold till his death on the 16th of January 1748. Although he obtained the degree of
doctor
  of
laws
 , and was intended for the legal profession, he determined to devote himself to philological studies. His edition of Livy (1738-1746, and subsequent editions) is the
work
  on which his fame chiefly rests. The
preface
  gives a particular account of all the literary men who have at different periods commented on the works of Livy. The edition itself is based on that of Gronovius; but Drakenborch made many important alterations on the authority of manuscripts which it is probable Gronovius had never seen. He also published Dissertatio de praefectis urbi (1704; reprinted at
Frankfort
  in 1752 with a
life
  of Drakenborch); Dissertatio de officio praefectorum praetorio (1707); and an edition of Silius Italicus (1717).
