Dubois, Siméon

A French classical scholar (1535-80), better known by his Latinized name Bosius, who forged a number of variant readings to Cicero's letters in an edition which he published at Limoges in 1580. This edition he pretended to have based on a MS. which he had obtained from a private soldier, and from readings said to have been furnished by one Crusellius. The MS. is usually styled the Decurtatum Bosii, and the readings Lectiones Crusellianae. The fraud of Dubois was not thoroughly proven until Haupt and Mommsen, in 1855, instituted an elaborate criticism of his readings and showed their spurious nature.
