The first volume of the first Ordo of the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus contains a general introduction and presents Erasmus' attack on barbarous Latin, a commentary on Ovidius' poem Nux, as well as Erasmus' Latin translations of Euripides' Hecuba and Iphigenia, declamations of Libanius, and works by Lucianus and Galenus. The volume offers a critical edition of the Latin text with introductions, and a commentary in English offering background information that helps to understand the text, and an evaluation of Erasmus' translations.

(Les notes)... de Waszink constituent, comme ses introductions, une contribution importante à l'histoire de la transmission des textes, non seulement pour la traduction érasmienne, mais pour l'original grec..la nouvelle édition d'Erasme mérite tous les éloges. -- Latomus
