Lucian was born in Samosata, in the Roman province of Syria, but his work is known from about 80 satirical prose pieces written in Greek, in several different forms such as essays, prose fiction and dialogues. His work was very popular during his life, and after a fallow period were revived during the Renaissance, surviving in numerous translations into Latin, and fist printed in 1470. His popularity was on a level with better known authors such as Plato and his works inspired many authors, such as Erasmus, Rabelais, and Thomas More. The present work is a copy of his Ψευδοσοφιστής ἢ Σολοικιστής (Pseudosophistes e solokistes) a work on solecisms or grammatical errors.
