A full bibliography of Graetz's works is given in the _Jewish Quarterly Review_, iv. 194; a memoir of Graetz is also to be found there. Another full memoir was prefixed to the "index" volume of the _History_ in the American re-issue of the English translation in six volumes (Philadelphia, 1898). (I. A.)
GRAEVIUS (properly GRÄVE or GREFFE), JOHANN GEORG (1632-1703). German classical scholar and critic, was born at Naumburg, Saxony, on the 29th of January 1632. He was originally intended for the law, but having made the acquaintance of J. F. Gronovius during a casual visit to Deventer, under his influence he abandoned jurisprudence for philology. He completed his studies under D. Heinsius at Leiden, and under the Protestant theologians A. Morus and D. Blondel at Amsterdam. During his residence in Amsterdam, under Blondel's influence he abandoned Lutheranism and joined the Reformed Church; and in 1656 he was called by the elector of Brandenburg to the chair of rhetoric in the university of Duisburg. Two years afterwards, on the recommendation of Gronovius, he was chosen to succeed that scholar at Deventer; in 1662 he was translated to the university of Utrecht, where he occupied first the chair of rhetoric, and from 1667 until his death (January 11th, 1703) that of history and politics. Graevius enjoyed a very high reputation as a teacher, and his lecture-room was crowded by pupils, many of them of distinguished rank, from all parts of the civilized world. He was honoured with special recognition by Louis XIV., and was a particular favourite of William III. of England, who made him historiographer royal.
His two most important works are the _Thesaurus antiquitatum Romanarum_ (1694-1699, in 12 volumes), and the _Thesaurus antiquitatum et historiarum Italiae_ published after his death, and continued by the elder Burmann (1704-1725). His editions of the classics, although they marked a distinct advance in scholarship, arc now for the most part superseded. They include Hesiod (1667), Lucian, _Pseudosophista_ (1668), Justin, _Historiae Philippicae_ (1669), Suetonius (1672), Catullus, Tibullus et Propertius (1680), and several of the works of Cicero (his best production). He also edited many of the writings of contemporary scholars. The _Oratio funebris_ by P. Burmann (1703) contains an exhaustive list of the works of this scholar; see also P. H. Külb in Ersch and Gruber's _Allgemeine Encyklopädie_, and J. E. Sandys, _History of Classical Scholarship_, ii. (1908).
