No copy of this edition by Soter located in the UK.French Renaissance humanist Guillaume Budé (1467-1540) was the most influential French scholar of the early 16th century. The Commentaries on the Greek Language first published in Paris a year earlier is 'a collection of lexicographical, philological, and historical notes, which formed the basis for the study of the Greek language in France. A monument of the New Learning, it was several times reprinted and gave Budé the reputation which is now commemorated in the Collection Budé series of modern reprints of Greek and Latin classics which now numbers more than 800 volumes. In his dedicatory preface to Francois I, the author reminds the King of his promise to establish a Royal College for the study of ancient languages, an appeal which led to the founding of the College Royal (also in 1530), today known as the Collége de France.

Andalusian School, Circle of MATIAS DE ARTEAGA (Villanueva de los Infantes, Ciudad Real, 1633 - Seville, 1703), 17th century."The Annunciation".Oil on canvas.Retouching.Repainting and restorations.Measurements: 81 x 102 cm; 105.5 x 120 cm (frame).The spatial complexity that the theme of the Annunciation denotes here, making the pedestrian architectural plane coexist with the celestial one, presents clear concomitants with the way in which Matias de Arteaga treated the biblical episodes. It is therefore part of the Sevillian Baroque, in Arteaga's circle. The main scene is set in an interior in which, on the right hand side, the Virgin kneels before a lectern. A vase of lilies, a symbol of Marian purity, stands between her and the archangel who brings her the good news. Saint Gabriel points upwards, where God the Father and the Holy Spirit burst forth in a burst of golden glory. In the background, the urban architecture is depicted, based on sober, perfectly delineated arcades. A Spanish Baroque painter and engraver of the Sevillian school, Matías de Arteaga y Alfaro was able to capture and interpret the dual influence of Murillo and Valdés Leal with his own personality. The son of the engraver Bartolomé Arteaga, while still a child his family moved to Seville, where he trained in his father's studio and in contact with Murillo, whose influence reveals his early work together with that of Valdés Leal, who settled in Seville the same year that Arteaga passed his master painter's examination in 1656. In 1660 he was among the founding members of the celebrated drawing academy promoted by Murillo, among others, of which he served as secretary between then and 1673. In 1664 he joined the Hermandad de la Santa Caridad brotherhood and two years later the Sacramental del Sagrario brotherhood of Seville cathedral, for which he produced a number of works. Around 1680 he is also recorded as working as an appraiser of paintings. He died in 1703, and the inventory of his estate at his death reveals a wealthy lifestyle that included an important library and an engraving studio, as well as over 150 paintings, almost half of which were of religious subjects. Among them were four series of the Life of the Virgin, some of which were expressly said to contain architectural views, such as those in the present work and those in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville. The most characteristic feature of his peculiar style is precisely these series of always religious subjects, set in broad landscapes and architectural perspectives taken from prints. Arteaga is represented in the aforementioned Sevillian museum, various Sevillian churches including the cathedral and the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, among others.
