Adrianus Turnebus

Adrianus Turnebus (Adrien Tournèbe) (1512 - June 12, 1565) was a French classical scholar.

Works

His works chiefly consist of philological dissertations, commentaries (on Aeschylus, Sophocles, Theophrastus, Philo and portions of Cicero), and translations of Greek authors into Latin and French. His son, Étienne, published his complete works, in three volumes (Strassburg, 1600), and his son Adrien his Adversaria, containing explanations and emendations of numerous passages in classical authors.
