itions of Euripides, _Helena_ and _Iphigenia in Tauris_ (1851), _Ion_ (1851); Plato's _Philebus_ (1855, 1878); _Laches_ and _Euthydemus_ (1865), _Phaedrus_ (1851), _Symposium_ (1866) and _De Platonis Epistolis_ (1866). He also contributed to _Mnemosyne_ (Cobet's journal) and other classical periodicals. His _Adhortatio ad Discipulos Academiae Sydniensis_ (1869) contains a number of emendations of Thucydides and other classical authors. He also published an article on "The Text of Shakespere" in _Cambridge Essays_ (1856); _Criticism applied to Shakespere_ (1846); _Thoughts on Classical and Commercial Education_ (1864). A collected edition of his _Speeches and Lectures delivered in Australia_ (Sydney, 1890) contains a memoir by Thomas Butler. BADIUS, JODOCUS or JOSSE (1462-1535), sometimes called BADIUS ASCENSIUS from the village of Asche, near Brussels, where he was born, an eminent printer at Paris, whose establishment was celebrated under the name of _Prelum Ascensianum_. He was himself a scholar of considerable repute, had studied at Brussels and Ferrara, and before settling in Paris, had taught Greek for several years at Lyons. He illustrated with notes several of the classics which he printed, and was the author of numerous pieces, amongst which are a life of Thomas a Kempis, and a satire on the follies of women, entitled _Navicula Stultarum Mulierum_.

In 1307 he became governor of Bristol Castle, and afterwards Edward II. appointed him steward of his household; but these marks of favour did not prevent him from making a compact with some other noblemen to gain supreme influence in the royal council. Although very hostile to Earl Thomas of Lancaster, Badlesmere helped to make peace between the king and the earl in 1318, and was a member of the middle party which detested alike Edward's minions, like the Despensers, and his violent enemies like Lancaster. The king's conduct, however, drew him to the side of the earl, and he had already joined Edward's enemies when, in October 1321, his wife, Margaret de Clare, refused to admit Queen Isabella to her husband's castle at Leeds in Kent.
