Overview

This is the first book, after J. E. Sandys, to cover the multiform fied of “ancient scholarship” from the beginnings to the fall of Byzantium. It is worth underlining the benefits of a work with multiple expert voices in a field so complex. The book is based on the four historiographical chapters of Brill's Companion to Ancient Greek Scholarship (2015), which have been updated and rethought.

Reviews

Der Band ist ausserst facetten- und informationsreich. (...) [Er] bietet eine gelungene Einfuhrung in das komplexe Gebiet auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung und wird sich hierfur als das Referenzwerk etablieren. - Eva Woeckener-Gade, in: The Byzantine Review 03.2021 ''Bien qu'on voie defiler tous les grands noms de la philologie et de la critique litteraire antique, on est loin d'une simple enumeration d'auteurs et d'oeuvres, une attention speciale etant accordee aux explications historiques des divers changements. En insistant sur la facon dont la culture de l'empire byzantin se nourrit de l'antiquite, ce livre a comme principal merite de montrer tout ce que la civilisation doit aux textes anciens. '' - Madalina Dala, in: Anabases. Traditions et receptions de l'Antiquite 04.2022 ''Der substanzielle Band bietet einen detaillierten UEberblick uber 2000 Jahre griechische Philologie-Geschichte. Die Einleitung von Franco Montanari setzt das Buch in Beziehung zur beruhmten History of Classical Scholarship (I: 1968, II: 1976) von Rudolf Pfeiffer und benennt das Hauptziel des Buches: die Ausfullung der von Pfeiffer gelassenen Lucke zwischen dem Hellenismus und dem Jahr 1300.'' - Heinz-Gunther Nesselrath, in: Historische Zeitschrift 06.2022
