= Graesse V, p.239; Schweiger, p.724; cf. Dibdin p.276: ""Some years ago," says Dr. Harwood, "I read through this edition of Petronius Arbiter, published by Burman at Utrecht in 1709, and can affirm it to be one of the best edited of Dutch classics. Burman, by his immense erudition and critical sagacity, hath so wonderfully illustrated this difficult writer, that it is almost impossible for the best scholar to read Petronius in any other edition". According to the same authority, the curious prefer the first edition of 1709." The second part comprises Praedicanea by J. DOUSA, Commenta by J.A. GONSALIUS DE SALAS, Dissertationes et praefationes variae and extensive indices.
