Meursius’ Orchestra was first published in 1618, as an individual volume. The present edition includes a reprint of the same work as edited by Lamius in Meursius’ Opera Omnia, which in its turn was based on the re-edition by Gronovius. This is the best version of the work in existence, but hard to find. It is now made widely available in this new volume edited by Naerebout and Raftis, which includes a description of Meursius’ life and work, as well as a commentary on Meursius’ text.
It presents all the ancient Greek Dances in ancient Greek and Latin.
A very useful book for every researches and teacher of ancient Greek dances.
