LETTERE DI EPICURO E DEI SUOI. Novamente o per la prima volta edite da C. Diano. Sansoni Editore, Firenze, 1946. 43p. Private binding. Pages bit yellowed. With gift intention in Greek from the author on title page. (Rare). ‘Diana has edited and translated fourteen of the thirty-seven fragmentary columns of P. Here., 1418, Philod, pragmateiai. In this work Philodemus includes many quotations from letters written by Epicurus and his associates; but the text is discontinuous, and often both writer and addressee are uncertain. The text occupies fourteen pages, the translation six pages, and the notes seventeen. (…) much of the extant fragments have been omitted and there are no indexes. Yet it makes contributions at many points to the reconstruction and interpretation of this papyrus, which is important principally for the information it contains about the early history of the school.’ (PHILIP DE LACY in Classical Philology, 1949, p.141). € 55.00 (Antiquarian)
