XVI,487p. Original blue cloth. Spine with gilt titled vignette. Series: Alpha-Omega, Reihe A, Lexika.Indizes. Konkordanzen zur Klassischen Philologie, CCLVI. Nice copy. 'The impression that this work leaves is one of intense thought, exceptionel organisational skills and a willingness to reconsider Homeric diction to provide new answers to old questions. For this alone, D.'s work should be admired (...). This volume will primarily be of interest to those who work on formulaic composition. Nevertheless, D.'s work is a useful reminder and illustration of the extent to which the Homeric dialect is definitively not a mechanised system that could be employed by anyone to create works similar in quality to our Iliad and Odyssey.' (JOEL P. CHRISTENSEN in The Classical Review (New Series), 2012, p.p.16-17). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 95.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9783487143408
