Giulio Pomponio Leto (14281498) studied in Rome with Theodorus Gaza and Lorenzo Valla, becoming professor at the University of Rome before moving to Venice as a private tutor (resulting in accusations of sodomy). He had access to the fifth-century Codex Mediceus of the works of Virgil as well as the commentary of Probus on the Eclogues and Georgics and a tenth-century manuscript of a commentary on the Georgics.'Using the ancient sources he had discovered, besides several other ancient works, Laetus was proposing a largely new commentary, different from the traditional one written by Servius (which he frequently criticized), and obviously very different from the commentaries written from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries' (ibid., p.204).The commentary (or rather, Leto's compilation from other commentaries together with his own notes) was for use in his teaching in Rome, but for some reason he chose not to have it published. However it was printed without his permission in 1487 by Bonino de' Boninis in Brescia, much to Leto's annoyance, and this was the text used by Oporinus for this 1544 edition, including the previous dedicatory letter from Daniele Gaetano, editor of the Brescia edition. Oporinus used the incorrect name Pomponius Sabinus, which was repeated in subsequent editions.OCLC and USTC together find five copies in the US (Columbia, Hamilton, Kansas Stanford, UCSD), and two in the UK (All Souls Oxford, BL).

Giulio Pomponio Leto, also known as Julius Pompoinius Laetus, was an Italian Renaissance humanist whose original Italian name has been lost. He studied under Lorenzo Valla and founded the Accademia Romana, whose members adopted Greek and Latin names and treated Pomponio as their "pontifex maximus" or leader. This work, the "compendium of Roman History," covers Roman history from the troubled and brief reign of the emperor Gordian II (who reigned for one month with his father, Gordian I, in 238 AD, which is also known as the Year of the Six Emperors) to Justin III in the early 7th century.
