ABEL, Fr., L'adjectif démonstratif dans la langue de la Bible latine. Max Niemeyer, Tübingen, 1971. XXII,207p. Original cloth. Series: Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für rominische Philologie, 125. Heft. ‘L’étude de M. Fritz Abel est menée avec rigueur et minutie. Elle servira sans doute de point de départ et de modèle à d’autres recherches sur la formation des systèmes déictiques et de l’article défini romans. L’enquête statistique n’y est pas une fin en soi, les chiffres y sont l’objet d’une interprétation approfondie et, quelle que soit la méfiance qu’ils doivent inspirer dans nos sciences humaines, les historiens de la langue latine et les romanistes y verront sans doute des données plus objectives que les impressions qu’ils peuvent recueillier au hasard de la lecture des textes.’ (CARL DEROUX in Latomus 1974, p.703).

ACHILLES TATIUS, Quae feruntur Astronomica et in Aratum opuscula: de Universo, De Arati vita, De phaenomenorum interpretatione. Edidit G. Di Maria. Università di Palerma, Palermo, 1996. XXXIV,97p. Sewn. Series: Annali della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell'Università di Palermo, Studi e Ricerche 27). 'M. is admirably clear and meticulous throughout in the printing of his text, the identification of quotations and allusions, and minutiae of the apparatus criticus. He adds a most welcome and comprehensive series of indexes to assist the study of this less familiar material - of key terms, stars, names, and passages cited. There is, however, no commentary or translation of the Greek, and acknowledgements, preface, and apparatus are in Latin. (...) This monograph is to be highly recommended as an attractive presentation of a previously inaccessible text, now produced according to the strictest standards of editing.' (M.R. WRIGHT in The Classical Review (New Series), 2000, pp.591-92). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 29.50 (Antiquarian)

ACHILLES TATIUS, Leucippe and Clitophon. Books I–II. Edited by T. Whitmarsh. Cambridge University Press, 2020. XI,284p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. The Greek Novels have moved from the margins to the centre-stage over recent decades, not just because of their literary qualities and thrilling narratives, but also because they offer revealing insights into the culture of the Greek world of the Roman Empire: sexual mores, the position of women and men, identity, religion. Achilles Tatius' Leucippe and Clitophon, the most influential of the novels in antiquity, remains the favourite of many. With its freewheeling plotline, its setting on the edge of the Greek world (in modern Lebanon), its ironic play with the reader's expectations and its sallies into obscenity, it represents a new, mature, sophisticated stage in the development of the novel as a genre. This is the first commentary in English on Achilles for over 50 years, a period that has seen great strides forward in the understanding of the literary, linguistic and textual interpretation of this brilliant text.
