Isocrates (ed. Henri Estienne / Henricus Stephanus)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
Isocrates is a classical Greek author whose works have been translated into English many times from the original Greek (e.g., the Loeb Classical Library editions by Norlin and Van Hook). However, the specific 1593 edition edited by Henri Estienne is a Latin translation of Isocrates' works. There is no evidence that this specific Latin rendering has ever been translated into English. The English translations that exist are direct translations from the Greek, not from the Latin text of the 1593 edition.
