He was professor of Eloquence at Duisburg, from 1657 at Deventer and at from 1662 at Utrecht, 'where he lived and worked for the last 40 years of his life'. He limited his attention mainly to writers of Latin prose, Cicero, Suetonius, Caesar, Justinus, Florus. He is remembered for his 'Inscriptiones antiquae', and famous for his three 'Thesauri', in which important works of previous scholars were collected and reprinted, the 'Thesaurus eruditionis scholasticae' (1710), the 12 folio volumes of the 'Thesaurus antiquitatum Romanarum' (1694-99), and the 9 volume 'Thesaurus antiquitatum et historiarum Italiae' (1704). 'The latin style of his prefaces, his speeches and his letters is elegant'. The letters contain a treasure of information on classical authors. The German editor of this collection, the bibliographer Johannes Albertus Fabricius, 1668-1736, was a friend and a great admirer of Graevius. 'Quanta in illo Viro quamque accurata & dilucida cognitio Antiquitatis, quanta utriusque linguae peritia'. He is particularly lyrical about Graevius' eloquence and Latin style. 'Eloquentia vero tam singularis tamque exquisita, ut sermo ejus a Musis videatur ipsis & Gratiis elaboratus esse'. (Dedicatio p. ):(5 recto) ) (Provenance: On the pastedown of the lower board a small label: 'Sammlung Otto Fritz Böhme'.
