This study deals with the Aeschylus editions published between 1518 (editio princeps) and 1664 (the last edition published before the end of the 18th century which had scholarly value) from two points of view: Bibliography and History of Scholarship. Emphasis is on the latter element.

"This book is an ideal example of what can be achieved when bibliographic science is combined with expertise in another field; by the harmonious marriage of a sound bibliographic technique with a thorough knowledge of the history of classical scholarship - and particularly, of the textual tradition of Aeschylus - Gruys`s book makes important contributions to both fields" (Fred Schreiber).
