CALLIMACHUS, Hecale. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by A.S. Hollis. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1990. XIII,401p. Cloth. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. 'H.'s edition of the tantalizing fragmentary remains of one of the most important of Hellenistic poems is to be warmly welcomed. It is not only a valuable presentation of the accumulated results of research on the poem in a convenient form (…), it also advances our understanding, and will provide a stimulus for further work. (...) It is hard to see how this could be bettered as an introduction to Callimachean poetry generally. The core of the work is the ample commentary, inevitably and rightly based on Pfeiffer's great work, but enriched by wide and wise reading or recent scholarship and by H.'s familiarity with later poetry, which often yields important results.' (FREDERICK WILLIAMS in The Classical Review, 1994, p.16-17). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 37.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780198140443
