Portrait of Guillaume Budé
This portrait illustrates how writing in Greek became an integral part of establishing scholarly identity in Europe during the 16th century. The famous French humanist Guillaume Budé notes down a line of Greek from Stobaeus (3.5.18), which reads: "Although it seems good to obtain what one desires, the greatest good is not to desire what one does not need".
