Recensione:

Ancient Greek Scholarship comprises both a finding aid (a through survey of the material, with explanations of the sources and their transmission, and guidance on editions and secondary literature) and a tutorial (an introduction to scholarly Greek, with an anthology of texts and a glossary of technical usages). Every research student should have this invaluable resource thrust upon them (Malcolm Heath, Greece and Rome)

A practical, down-to-earth approach to problems is the hallmark of Dickey's style, and a genuine love for Classics and its students permeates every page of this book. After reading it, I both feel more knowledgeable about ancient scholarship and glad that such an intricate subject could be presented in such an interesting way. The book is not just an indespensible tool: it is, above all, a great pleasure to read. I warmly recommend it to both students and experts. (Olga Tribulato, Journal of Hellenic Studies)

This book fills a deep need...grateful that a competent and knowledgable scholar has compiled such a useful guide to such an important yet intractable body of material. (Kathleen McNamee, The Classical Review)

Dickey has received much praise, from linguists as well as classicists, for her monographs on Greek and Latin forms of address. How she has published a handbook to ancient Greek scholarship, which manifests the erudition, precision, and uncommon good sense known to her earlier readers. (Malcom D. Hyman, Historiographica Linguistica 35:3)

Dickey has truly done an excellent job (Malcom D. Hyman, Historiographica Linguistica 35:3)

Dickey's book is carefully written, scrupulously edited, and well-produced (Malcom D. Hyman, Historiographica Linguistica 35:3)

Any serious student of Greek will want to possess it. (William Slater, Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
