DICKEY, E., Ancient Greek Scholarship. A Guide to Finding, Reading, and Understanding Scholia, Commentaries, Lexica, and Grammatical Treatises, from Their Beginnings to the Byzantine Period. Oxford University Press, 2007. XVII,345p. Paperback. Series: Society for Classical Studies Classical Resources. "When I first embarked on this project, many people told me it was impossible; I thought only that it would be tremendous fun..." So the writer on p.xi, who affirms that it was just as much fun as she had hoped. She has had the assistance of many other distinguished scholars in her apparently enjoyable rambles through the wasteland of ancient scholarship, and one may safely say that the end result, while perhaps not fun reading for most students, is of great utility. This reviewer would have saved many months of labour had he possessed this book thirty years ago, and it will save others just as much time now, while removing from them the excuse for ignorance, which was perhaps more readily available back then. Any serious student of Greek will want to possess it.' (WILLIAM SLATER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2007.06.080). € 36.00 (New) ISBN: 9780195312935
