Interpreting a Classic: Demosthenes and His Ancient Commentators Tapa dura - 2002
de Craig A. Gibson
Descripción de contraportada
"Craig Gibson's Interpreting a Classic, starting from the papyrus fragments of Didymus on Demosthenes' Fourth Philippie, shows just how rewarding such recondite material can be. In Gibson's hands old-fashioned philological Wissenschaft becomes the high-level instrument for a beautifully argued step-by-step detective investigation (complete with translation and his own commentary) of one strand in the ancient academic pursuit of truth. As Gibson says, 'At stake was nothing less than the correct interpretation of a classic, ' and this has clearly been his own guiding principle too. I cannot think of another book on so recherche a topic that so successfully combines meticulous scholarship with clarity, elegance of exposition, and an infectious enthusiasm for solving recalcitrant textual problems."--Peter Green, author of Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age
"Desmosthenes was 'the orator, ' in the view of subsequent writers, and reading his speeches was a part of education and culture for the rest of antiquity. But ancient readers, like modern ones, needed help to interpret and situate these speeches, which were intended for an audience who knew the issues, the circumstances, and the langauge. The result was commentaries, philological and historical, designed for readers of Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times...In Interpreting a Classic, Gibson brings this material together and uses it to write the history of an important episode of reading the classics...Interpreting a Classic makes a significant contribution to our understanding of scholarship in antiquity and of ancient readers."--Kent Rigsby, Professor of Classics at Duke University and editor of the journal Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies
