First separate edition; Froben was to publish his own Latin edition in the following year. The Greek text was already contained in the Venetian 1493 incunable and in the 1513 Aldus edition; it was not to be printed again until Froben's 1522 Libanius edition; the first separate edition of the original text was to be printed by Wechel in Paris in 1529.

Isocrates (436-338), the most highly esteemed and successful teacher of rhetorics of his time, continued to exert a great influence on artistic prose for centuries.
