Phurnutus

Phurnu'tus

(Φουρνούτος), is no other than L. Annaeus Cornutus [Cornutus, p. 859]. Works Mythological Treatise Editions

His mythological treatise was first published under this by Aldus, Venice, 1505, with the alias, however, of Cornutus. He is also called Πολυδεύκης Φουρνούτος.

We transcribe the title of the last edition of this work, from Engelmann's Bibliotheca : "Phurnutus (s. Cornutus) L. Annaeus, De Natura Deorum ex schedis J. Bapt. d'Ausse de Villoison recens. commentariisque instr. Freid. Ossannus. Adjecta est J. de Villoison de Theologia Physica Stoicorum commentant. Gottingae." 1844. Treatise on the Labors of Hercules

Gesner says that a treatise under this name, treating of the labours of Hercules, was extant in his time in one of the Venetian libraries (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. iii. p. 556). [W.M.G]
