The University of Cambridge commissioned Bentley to obtain Greek and Latin fonts for their classical books; he had these made in Holland. He assisted John Evelyn in his "Numismata". Bentley did not settle down to the steady execution of any of the major projects he had started. In 1694, he designed an edition of Philostratus, but abandoned it to Gottfried Olearius (1672–1715), "to the joy," says F. A. Wolf, "of Olearius and of no one else." He supplied Graevius with collations of Cicero, and Joshua Barnes with a warning as to the spuriousness of the "Epistles" of Euripides. Barnes printed the epistles anyway and declared that no one could doubt their authenticity but a man who was "perfrictae frontis aut judicii imminuti" (boldfaced and lacking in judgment). For Graevius's "Callimachus" (1697), Bentley added a collection of the fragments with notes.
