HERING, W., Die Recensio der Caesarhandschriften. Akademie-Verlag, Berlin, 1963. VIII,115,Xp. Sewn. Upper corner a little bit bumped through and through. Series: Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, Schriften der Sektion für Altertumswissenschaft, 41. 'This book was submitted to the University of Rostock as a thesis for a Lecture-ship in Classics. (...) Dr. Hering has made a close study of twelve manuscripts of the B.G., the B.C. and the three non-Caesarean 'Bella' (...). In his method he follows the little book 'Textkritik' by Paul Maas (...). His aim has been, and his result is, the 'elimination codicum descriptorum' (Maas, p.2). (...) Dr. Hering's 'Habilitationsschrift' is distuinguished by sound method, a keen sense of purpose, and admirable sagacity.' (W. MOREL in The Classical Review (New Series, 1965, pp.66-67). € 19.50 (Antiquarian)
