[Peter Francius, a celebrated Greek and Latin poet, was born in 1645 at
Amsterdam, afterwards studied at Leyden, and obtained the degree of
Doctor of Laws at Augers. In 1674, the magistrates of Amsterdam
appointed him Professor of History and Rhetoric, which office he held
till his death in 1704. See _Biographie Universelle_.]

I find the above in a list of "books printed for Arthur, Betterworth, &c.,"
at the end of the 7th edition of Horneck's _Crucified Jesus_: London, 1727.
I do not remember to have seen any notice of this work in the recent
biographies of the saintly prelate to whom it is here attributed.
