Works
He was a voluminous writer on theological subjects, and translated and composed many exegetical works. He is best known from his own edition of the Latin Old Testament, slightly altered from the former joint edition, and with a version of the New Testament added (Geneva, 1590; Hanover, 1624). The Opera Theologica vrancisci Junii Biturigis were published at Geneva (2 vols., 1613), of which is prefixed his autobiography, written about 1592 (new ed., edited by Abraham Kuyper,1882 seq.). The autobiography had been published at Leiden (1595), and is reprinted in the Miscellanea ironingana, vol. i, along with a list of the author's other writings. Upon his death Joseph Justus Scaliger wrote this lament:
-
- You, O mourning school, weep for your teacher!
- You, O bereft Church, your parent!
- Your doctor, O whole wide world, lament!
- You, O mourning school, weep for your teacher!

Surcharged and sultry with a power
That works its will on age and hour.”
