Descrizione libro Original cloth. Condizione: Gut. 295 p., w/ pictures. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In perfect condition. - Content: The dedication of this book to A. Turyn amounts to a plain statement of fact: but for him, it would not be there. He obliged me by sending me his fundamental work on The Byzantine Manuscript Tradition of the Tragedies of Euripides, inviting me to test and pursue his results. For better or worse I fell in with the flattering request, but the task could not have been completed without Turyn s constant encouragement and help. He answered countless questions, lent me photographs and checked many details in manuscripts which at the time were inaccessible to me. His book will be found quoted on almost every one of the following pages; it is in fact the starting-point and basis of these disquisitions. I had set out, and for a long time persisted, in the expectation of confirming one of Turyn s more revolutionary theses and have been genuinely sorry in the end to find it controverted by irresistible evidence. But this, I suppose, is how by steps we move towards the . truth in the rhythm described by Hegel. The reader will not find in the following a mere reassertion of the views of Wecklein and P. Maas. The progress of the actual inquiry is reflected in the successive chapters of this book (and hurried critics are advised that a casual reference, prompted by the index, to one point or the other may lead them on to statements which actually are developed, qualified or even reversed with the progress of the argument). In addition to my paramount indebtedness to Turyn, I am obliged to many others! P. Canart has been good enough on my behalf to examine two problematical passages in cod. Pal. Gr. 287; in papyrological matters I have been allowed to invoke the expert judgement of C. H. Roberts and E. G. Turner (the latter moreover allowed me to present the gist of this book to a meeting of the London Classical Institute in November i960). I am not a specialist in the fields represented by these experts; if nonetheless I have ventured, in a number of details, to differ . from authoritative views, this has been the outcome of careful and prolonged consideration. He would be a rash man that fancied to be able to settle controversial points of reading in manuscripts or papyri by a quick glance at a photograph or even at the original documents. The present disquisitions started with the study of microfilms by means of projectors kindly lent by the British Academy and the University of Manchester; to the generosity of my university moreover I owe it that I have been able twice to study the original two manuscripts which form my central subject (I have not seen the original of the Roman part of codex P). My work in Florence was made enjoyable by the kindness of the Direttore of the Biblioteca Laurenziana and of her Assistant, Dr A. Lenzuni (whose important contribution will be found mentioned below, p. 14). While engaged on elaborating my observations it fell to my lot to supervise the work of Mr C. Collard, who was at the time preparing a critical edition of Euripides Supplices. In frequent exchanges we have, I think, learned one from the other, and Mr Collard has particularly obliged me by going over almost every part of the present book and offering welcome suggestions for its stylistic and material improvement; moreover he has been good enough to read a complete set of proofs and, with meticulous efficiency, to check nearly all references a labour as trying as it is essential and for which the readers of this book will feel no less indebted to him than does its author. Professor Kamerbeek obliged me with expert observations on an early draft of the chapter on the Helena papyrus, and an excursion into a foreign field of science (below, pp. 57 ff.) was made possible by the understanding interest of Professor F. Fairbrother and the active help of Doctors J. D. Bu Lock and G. F. Smith of our Chemistry Department. All these are assured of my sincere gratitude. I wish to thank also the authorities of the Egypt Exploration Fund for allowing me at leisure to study the original Papyrus Oxy. 2336, the Bodleian Library for lending the photographs of Aeschylus manuscripts which Professor E. Fraenkel has entrusted to their care, and Professor E. G. Turner as well as the Directors of the Biblioteca Laurenziana and Biblioteca Vaticana for permission to publish the photographs on Plates I-XVI. The book was sent to the Press in August 1962, and I would here express my thanks to its staff for the patient and competent labour which ever since this date they have devoted to the complicated task of its production. I should like to conclude with an expression of gratitude to all scholars from whose publications I have benefited, and in particular to M. Alphonse Dain. It has been a delight to be able to add, to many of my statements, a reference to concordant passages in that golden book, Les Manuscrits a compendium slender in size but replete with the experience and wisdom of an unexcelled master. M. Dain will be as little troubled as, frankly, I am myself by the fact that on a few points I presume to differ from him. The spirit and method of his work seem a model to me in that every point arising in the study of manuscripts is approached as part of a live process, the student striving to trace the activities of individual human beings rather than seeking objects for some abstract schematism; the whole endeavour is a matter not of science but of humanist history. Imperfect though I know it to be, I could wish that my essay were found, at least in intention, to obey Dain s simple but fundamental maxim: L ideal, en toute circonstance, est de savoir comment les choses se sont passees.
