Pages slightly yellowed. some smoker's smell. Series: Erträge der Forschung, 27. ‘In ‘Die Homerische Frage’ Professor Heubeck summarizes the ‘Fachberichte’ (which appears in the periodical Gymnasium between 1951 and 1971 - ND), bringing together his various comments under particular headings. He covers a period from the 1930s (and even earlier) to 1969, plus a few items from 1970. This will be obligatory reading for students of Homer. (…) He writes with great understanding and totlerance; although he himself has definite views on the major aspects of the Homeric question (….), he is never disparaging or polemical (…). There is a huge bibliography on pp.243-304 of all the works which he has taken into account. (…) As a whole, the book is a delight, the author’s sentiments and coverage alike being excellent.(…) This is a most welcome volume, likely to be of greatest use to Homeric researchers for a long time to come.’ (M.M. WILLCOCK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1977, pp.1-2). € 12.00 (Antiquarian)
