The author, Tiberius Hemsterhuis (1685-1766), was a Dutch professor who revived the study of ancient Greek in the universities of the Netherlands. Aeschines Socraticus (c. 425-c. 350 B.C.E.) was a follower of Socrates, present at his trial and death. He is best known as the author of Socratic dialogues, more valued for their style and faithfulness to Socrates than their original thought. Only fragments of the dialogues survive.
