The book is a commentary by Nicolaus Bachius on fragments by the Greek elegiac poet Mimnermus. It is followed by emendations to Bachius' 1825 book on Solon the poet. The Hellenistic poets regarded Mimnermus as the founder of the love elegy genre. Only fragments of his poetry survive.
N.B.: The poet's text is in Greek with the commentary in Latin.
