His younger colleagues Douwe Holwerda (1920-2011) and Nicolaas van der Wal (1925-2015), who had participated in the editorial work from its early stages, saw the last volume through the press, which then was presented in 1988.

Two weeks later Herman Jan Scheltema (1906-1981), the auctor intellectualis and guiding spirit of the enterprise, passed away. In 1981 the preparations of the last volume had been completed. What was and still is lacking in the printed edition is Prolegomena to the entire work. All this is set to rights here, and those who prefer to consult a digital edition will no longer need to worry about differences. That format has three defects when compared to the printed edition: it has no critical apparatus, no prefaces, and the length of lines of fragments is not the same, which makes references to longer fragments differ from those that have been and are being made to the printed edition. The text and scholia have been available in digital form for some time now in the databank Thesaurus Linguae Graecae of Irvine.

The edition has been out of print for at least ten years now. It is now almost thirty years since the last volume of the ‘Groningen edition’ of the Basilica was published.
