This is an illuminating and comprehensive commentary on four speeches of Isaios, the first to offer a modern and balanced assessment of the orator's work. Through this work Griffith-Williams sets high standards for commentaries on oratory. The book is essential reading for everyone interested in Attic oratory, rhetoric and Athenian law. Rosalia Hatzilambrou, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.09.39. Insgesamt hat G.-W. einen herausragenden Kommentar vorgelegt, der allen an der attischen Beredsamkeit Interessiert als Pflichtlekture zu empfehlen ist; bleibt nur zu wunschen, dass auch die anderen Reden des Isaios bald auf diesem ausserordentlichen qualitativen Niveau (und vielleicht von derselben Verf.?) kommentiert werden. Michael Weissenberger, Gnomon vol 88, issue 4, 2016.
