1581 edition is notable for the suppression of M. A. Muret’s literary hoax, 
and Scaliger’s commentary on it, which had been printed in the Estienne, 1573 
edition. See Renouard 148, #2; Adams V283; Schreiber, THE ESTIENNES #207.
II. “Estienne’s specialized grammatical dissertation on Varro’s treatment of 
linguistic analogy, followed by J. C. Scaliger’s short treatise on the same 
subject.” (Schreiber, #221). Renouard 154, #1; Adams S1750 (under “Stephanus”
).
