The lecturer has idiosyncrasies and cross-references do not always expel repetition. The good pupil grows to expect them and is charmed. For more than half a century the author has given us reviews, monographs, and books, Again and again a note presents an intriguing conclusion with an invitation to read elsewhere for details. One admires the energy, soundness, and variety, and that there is always a point of vies. The commentary breathes the man, a scholar and a humanist in whose presence humility is easy as well as natural.’ (WILLIAM M. CALDER III, in Classical Philology, 1961, p.273). € 215.00 (Antiquarian)
