Schrevelius, CORNELIUS, born at Haarlem in 1615, became in 1642 rector of the university of
Leyden, and died 11th September 1664. He was a laborious and erudite man, but possessed little critical discernment. His most notable performance was a Lexicon Græco-Latinum et Latino-Græcum (Leyden, 1654), of which there have been innumerable editions. He also executed between 1648 and 1665 many variorum editions of the classics—Juvenal, Hesiod, Terence, Virgil, Horace, Homer, Martial, Lucretius, Cicero, Ovid, and Claudian.
