Thomas Aldobrandinus, father of Hippolytus, who was later Pope Clement VIII, published it in Rome, translated into Latin. See Opmeer, p. 836, Chronogr.
He was also Morbeccanius, a Frenchman, on the school in II. Polit. Arist. to Petrus Aldobrandinus, whose uncle Thomas was. See also Vizzan. to Ocell. p. 97.
H. Stephanus published it in the year 1573, or slightly before; see him in de Parod. p. 84.
His edition was later reprinted by Jac. Stoer in the year 1615, 8º.
Aegidius Menagius increased it with brilliant observations. Ed. London 1664, folio [from the Library of L. Menkenius], where you also have the version of Thomas Aldobrandinus. The same Menagius thus to the Reader: I intend to revise and retract those my hurried commentaries, and as it were to refashion them, and to add to the Latin interpretation of Laertius which you already have prepared—the reason why it appears augmented by many things; lest I find it necessary to warn readers so often about the errors of the ancient interpreters.
Menagius, preface f. 2. a. D. First rendered into Latin, expressly?, by Ambrosius, a Camaldolese monk, a man not unlearned, but who, in translating these books, exercised such license that you would say he wrote a history rather than the word of an historian. He had inscribed his work to Cosimo de' Medici, the Florentine? ruler.
It was also published in Lyon, 1560.
