Scrinium Classical Antiquity

THUCYDIDES, Book VI. With an Introduction and Commentary by K.J. Dover. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1965. 1st ed. XXIX,(72),111p. Hard bound. Upper edge bit rust stained. Pages a little bit yellowed. 'A very high standard of scholarship is maintained throughout this edition. (...) Dover seems to be a specialist on every aspect of his work. He is as much at home when dealing with linguistic peculiarities and textual difficulties as when discussing problems of topography (...) or the technological obscurities of Greek naval architecture. (...). The long discussion of the Peisistratic digression (VI 54-59) is valuable, especially in pointing out that the motive of Thucydides is to correct historical error even at the cost of irrelevance, an essential factor underlying all the major digressions (...). Among the most welcome features of this edition is that Dover faces squarely some historical problems to which little or no attention has hitherto been paid.' (H.D. WESTLAKE in The Classical Review, 1966, p.26-28). € 18.00 (Antiquarian)

MARTIAL, (MARTIALIS), Book XIII. The Xenia. Text with introduction and commentary by T.J. Leary. Duckworth, London, 2001. XIII,209p. Bound wrps. (Rare). 'To sum up: L. has provided us with a commentary that is always clear or at least as lucid as one can expect it to be, when dealing with a collection that often eludes its modern readers or leaves them in the lurch. Where there are competing interpretive attempts in previous scholarship, L. plainly discusses their pros and cons and contributes a great deal of insight and original thought. 'Realien' and language, which have the greatest share in this book, are truly the strongest side of the commentary. On the other hand, the collection we are dealing with is a highly sophisticated and complex product of literature, some aspects of which L. explores in greater detail, whereas others have been neglected or underestimated by him. At any rate, this book certainly is a stepping-stone for future work on this challenging corpus of epigrams. (FAROUK F. GREWING in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.08.38). € 110.00 (Antiquarian)
