Signature and date on free end paper. Some pencil underlinings and markings in the commentary. 'The introduction contains admirably economical discussions of the nature of Aristotle's work in general, the literary works in particular, Aristotle's predecessors in aesthetics and criticism, and the transmission of the text. The appedixes deal with Mimesis, with Pity, Fearm and Katharsis, with Simple and complex Tragedy, and with Hamartia. (...) In general the commentary is very usable and introduces the reader to knowledge and ideas not previously so accessible.'

'The appearance of this work is particularly welcome in that it covers a period whose influence on subsequent European thought and culture has been immense, yet which has remained for the most part little known not only to the general reader but also top most contemporary philosophers and theologians (...). The contributors to the present volume are (...) all scholars of distinction and each of them provides an illuminating discussion of his own special section. (...) the volume is too short. (...) (The) most serious (defect) is the editor's failure to impose a uniform plan on all contributors, whith the result that the volume reads less like a continuous history than like a disconnencted series of essays on more or less related topics. (...) These points apart, each contributor produces much fascinating material. (...) In short, the book provides a valuable, and in parts a brilliant, treatment of its field, and will be found essential reading by many scholars for many years to come.' (R.T.

ARMSTRONG, D., (a.o.), (eds.), Vergil, Philodemus, and the Augustans. University of Texas Press, Austin, 2004. 1st ed. XII,361p. Original black cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Dust wrps to upper edge a bit wrinkled. After the generous but unwieldy Introduction (24 pages), there are six groups of articles: two on the early poems, three on different aspects of the Aeneid, one on the Augustans. There is an excellent Bibliography, a List of Contributors, a General Index and an Index Locorum. The volume is beautifully edited, with very few and inconsequential typographical errors. (...) In Part I: Early Vergil, three essayists offer evidence for the influence of Epicureanism on V's early works. The principal weakness is that the authenticity and general acceptance of some of these early works are not sufficiently addressed. (...) In contrast to the first section, the three essays in Part II: Eclogues and Georgics are of outstanding quality, though they further the aims of the project with varying degrees of success. (...) Part III: The Aeneid: The Emotions. (...) This segment of the volume is particularly important in its potential demonstration of P's influence on V. The three articles which comprise this section are all informative (...). The essays in Part IV: The Aeneid: Piety and the Gods have much to contribute to Vergilian scholarship. All are extremely well written, but how well each one furthers the project's aims varies. (...) In Part V: The Aeneid: Aesthetics, Marilyn B. Skinner's 'Carmen inane: Philodemus' Aesthetics and Vergil's Artistic Vision' is yet another product of a seasoned scholarly mind. (...) Daniel Delattre comprehensively reviews references to music and musical instruments in 'Vergil and Music, in Diogenes of Babylon and Philodemus'. (...) The title includes the Augustans, but the two essays on Horace and Propertius constitute negligible treatment.' (L.N. QUARTARONE in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.64). € 75.00 (Antiquarian)
