    Greek Manuscripts of the Ancient World. Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1971. XIV,132p. Cloth with dust wrps. Edges as well as first and last pages slightly rust stained. Else fine. 'This book is a companion volume designed to illustrate the author's Greek Papyri. (...) The volume contains an introduction and seventy-three illustrations chosen as a representative selection of Greek literary texts. Each plate is described and there is a partial transcription. (...) The introduction deals with all the main features of book production in antiquity (...). There is a careful analysis of the distinction between book and cursive hands. (...) Altogether a useful book; students and scholars now have an album which shows conveniently what ancient books looked like and adds a sound commentary.' (N.G. WILSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1974, pp.91-2). (Antiquarian)  (approx. delivery time: undeliverable) ISBN: 9780691035413
