Text in three columns. Hederich (1675-1748) was a German lexicographer and hellenist who lexicon was first published in 1722. Morrell (1703-1784) was a classical scholar and librettist. He wrote the librettos for Handel's Alexander Balus, Theodora, and Jephtha, but he "never prospered materially -according to William Cole, because he kept low company, especially with musicians, and was irremediably improvident.... In his lifetime [he] was chiefly known, and widely esteemed, as a classical scholar." (ODNB) ESTC T140706.
