Basileae: per Ioannem Heruagium. C.1549. Edition: Second edition, Binding: Full period vellum, rebacked expertly saving the original spine. , Notes: Gaius Julius Hyginus (64 BC–AD 17) was a Latin author, a pupil of the famous Alexander Polyhistor.

Palaephatus (Greek: Παλαίφατος) was the original author of a rationalizing text on Greek mythology, the work of paradoxography On Incredible Tales (Greek: Περὶ ἀπίστων (ἱστοριῶν). Palaephatus' date and name are uncertain; many scholars have concluded that Palaephatus is a pseudonym; the evidence, such as it is, is all of it consistent with the late fourth century BC.
Fabius Planciades Fulgentius (fl. late 5th– early 6th century) was a Latin writer of late antiquity. Four extant works are commonly attributed to him, as well as a possible fifth which some scholars include in compilations with much reservation. His mythography was greatly admired and highly influential throughout much of the medieval period, but it is viewed with little favour today.
Aratus (c. 315 BC/310 BC – 240) was a Greek didactic poet. His major extant work is his hexameter poem Phenomena (Ancient Greek: Φαινόμενα, Phainómena, "Appearances"; Latin: Phaenomena), the first half of which is a verse setting of a lost work of the same name by Eudoxus of Cnidus. It describes the constellations and other celestial phenomena. The second half is called the Diosemeia (Διοσημεῖα "Forecasts"), and is chiefly about astronomy and weather forecasting.
Proclus Lycaeus (412 – 485 AD), called the Successor (Greek Πρόκλος ὁ Διάδοχος, Próklos ho Diádokhos), was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major classical philosophers (see Damascius). He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism. He stands near the end of the classical development of philosophy and was very influential on Western medieval philosophy (Greek and Latin).
Jacob Micyllus, (6 April 1503 – 28 January 1558) was a German Renaissance humanist and professor.
