This edition of the complete works of the Roman poet Publius Papinius Statius was published in Paris in 1618. It represents a significant scholarly effort of the early seventeenth century, featuring the editorial work of the French humanist Emericus Cruceus, who provided extensive annotations and a new commentary specifically for the Silvae. The collection aimed to synthesize centuries of classical scholarship by incorporating both ancient and contemporary interpretations, reflecting the period's intellectual drive to preserve and critique Latin literature for a learned audience.

The volume was designed as a comprehensive reference tool for humanists, characterized by its inclusion of detailed indices and a memorabilium elencus to facilitate research. The typography and layout follow the standard practices of European academic printing from the era, prioritizing clarity for scholastic study. While Statius's epics like the Thebaid were already staples of the curriculum, Cruceus’s dedication to the Silvae highlights the evolving scholarly interest in Statius’s occasional poetry, which had gained renewed appreciation for its technical virtuosity and its nuanced reflection of Flavian-era cultural life.
