authorities, and his collations were made with the greatest accuracy. Most
of his works were produced in collaboration with other scholars, such as
Orelli, who regarded him as his right-hand man. He edited Isocrates,
_Panegyricus_ (1831); with Sauppe, Lycurgus, _Leocratea_ (1834) and
_Oratores Attici_ (1838-1850); with Orelli and Winckelmann, a critical
edition of Plato (1839-1842), which marked a distinct advance in the text,
two new MSS. being laid under contribution; with Orelli, Babrius, _Fabellae
Iambicae nuper repertae_ (1845); Isocrates, in the Didot collection of
classics (1846). He had for some time been associated with Orelli in his
great work on Cicero, and assisted in _Ciceronis Scholiastae_ (1833) and
_Onomasticon Tullianum_ (1836-1838). For the _Fasti Consulares_ and
_Triumphales_ he was alone responsible. With Orelli and (after his death)
Halm, he assisted in the second edition of the Cicero, and, with Kayser,
edited the same author for the Tauchnitz series (1860-1869). New editions
of Orelli's Tacitus and Horace were also due to him. It is worth noting
that, with Sauppe, he translated Leake's _Topography of Athens_.

BAIUS, or DE BAY, MICHAEL (1513-1589), Belgian theologian, was born at
Melun in Hainault in 1513. Educated at Louvain University, he studied
philosophy and theology with distinguished success, and was rewarded by a
series of academic appointments. In 1552 Charles V. appointed him professor
of scriptural interpretation in the university. In 1563 he was nominated
one of the Belgian representatives at the council of Trent, but arrived too
late to take an important part in its deliberations. At Louvain, however,
he obtained a great name as a leader in the anti-scholastic reaction of the
16th century. The champions of this reaction fought under the banner of St
Augustine; and Baius' Augustinian predilections brought him into conflict
with Rome on questions of grace, free-will and the like. In 1567 Pius V.
condemned seventy-nine propositions from his writings in the Bull _Ex
omnibus afflictionibus_. To this Baius submitted; though certain indiscreet
utterances on the part of himself and his supporters led to a renewal of
the condemnation in 1579 by Gregory XIII. Baius, however, was not disturbed
in the tenure of his professorship, and even became chancellor of Louvain
in 1575. He died, still in the enjoyment of these two dignities, in 1589.
Baius is chiefly interesting as a for
