Dr Dawe has collated sixteen manuscripts of the Byzantine triad of the plays of Aeschylus, and offers an apparatus criticus for each play. In the accompanying critical study he examines the implications of his readings both as they affect the textual criticism of Aechylus and the wider question of the transmission of Greek poetry.
