Tursellinus taught at several Jesuit Colleges in Italy, and lectured for 20 year at the 'Collegium Romanum' in Rome. His most important works are De particulis latinae orationis, a biography of the Jesuit missionary Franciscus Xaverius, published in 1596, and a universal history Epitome Historiarum libri X which treated in 10 books the complete history, from Adam till 1598, and which remained popular for centuries on schools and universities. For a long time it was used even at the protestant universities in the Dutch Republic. 100 or more editions and adaptations were produced until 1845. Right from the start it was a success, and became a standard. The book was reissued in Italy in Rome, Venice, Milan and Perugia, in France in Douai, Lyon, Paris, Rouen, Caen, Toulouse, and in Germany in Cologne, München and Frankfurt, generally cities where Jesuits had their colleges. The first edition in the Low Countries appeared in The Hague in 1678, and was edited by Johann Conrad Nuber, who introduced this manual at the University of Leiden. In 1688 and in 1695 it was reissued in Franeker, followed by editions produced by the Utrecht printer W. vande Water in 1710, 1718, 1730 and 1744. In 1708 a Dutch translation was published in Amsterdam. The manual was published for the last time in The Low Countries in 1786. The continuatio till 1624, incorporated in this edition of 1718, was produced by the French historian Henri de Sponde (Henricus Spondanus), and adopted from his Annales Baronii. (See for Tursellinus: H.W.A.M. Sancisi Weerdenburg, 'Lege veteres, sperne recentiores : Tursellinus en het achttiende-eeuwse geschiedenisonderwijs', in Utrechtse Historische Cahiers, Jaargang 17, (1996) 1: 'Studeren en promoveren in Utrecht', p. 22/35; and also 'Biographie Universelle, ancienne et moderne', Paris, 1826, vol. 46, p. 233/4). § This historical work is of course outdated, but nowadays every classical scholar still knows Tursellinus, which is to say, that he/she knows and sometimes uses: 'Tursellinus seu de particulis Latinis commentarii' in the edition that was published by the German scholar Ferdinand Gotthelf Hand, Leipzig 1829/45, and later reprinted by Hakkert in 1969. This work, first published in Rome as De particulis latinae orationis, and brought Tursellinus fame among classical scholars. It offered the student of eloquence the means to speak coherently by the correct use of those small particles and adverbs which glue his speech together. Tursellinus his highly praised by H.J. Sandys for his accurate scholarship) (Collation: pi1, *8 (minus leaf *8 = pi1), A-2R6) (Photographs on request)
