FERWERDA, Rein., La signification des images et des métaphores dans la pensée de Plotin. Wolters, Groningen, 1965. VII,214p. Theses. Sewn. Diss. Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam. Small personal library marks on tail spine as well as free endpaper. Name on free endpaper. (Rare). 'This doctoral thesis makes a modest but useful contribution to our understanding of Plotinus. Dr. Ferwerda has set out to collect and classify all the images and metaphors used in the 'Enneads' and to discuss both Plotinus' use of metaphor in general and the way in which he employs particular images. His collection seems reasonably complete; certainly no important passage in which metaphorical language is used has been left out. The classification is, as he admits in his Introduction, a difficult business, and no arrangement can ever be wholly satisfactory. (...) But is is difficult to see how any other method of classification could have worked better. Throughout his discussions Dr. Ferwerda shows himself well read in the relevant scholarly literature (...), not only where Plotinus is concerned, but as far back as the Pres-Socratics. (...0 He is not afraid to disagree with the authorities when his understanding of the texts requires it, and he seems frequently right when he does so (...). The discussions of particular images, especially the difficult and complex imagery of the mirro, are often penetrating and useful.' (A.H. ARMSTRONG in The classical Review (New Series), 1966, p.182-183). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 85.00 (Antiquarian)

FINGLASS, P.J., C. COLLARD, and N.J. RICHARDSON, (eds.), Hesperos. Studies in Ancient Greek Poetry Presented to M.L. West on his Seventieth Birthday. Oxford University Press, Oxford (...), 2007. 406p. Cloth. Wrps gone. Cover a little bit stained.'Readers of BMCR will need no introduction to M. L. West, whose publications (so says the jacket of the book under review) 'over nearly half a century ... have transformed our understanding of Greek poetry.' Here are 24 essays, mostly on Greek poetry, written to celebrate his 70th birthday. The book also reprints 'Forward into the Past', West's Balzan Prize acceptance speech (2000), and includes a complete bibliography of his academic publications - a staggering 497 items so far. Ranging across several of the fields in which West has exercised his enormous influence, the volume makes no attempt at unity of theme or purpose. Its value lies in the high quality of most of the individual contributions.' (JOHN GIBERT in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.06.23).
