This book documents the history of classical philology, which began as textual analysis in ancient Alexandria, and spanned over 2,000 years to develop into a sophisticated academic discipline. The author follows the field's evolution from its humble beginnings through the Renaissance and into the 19th century, capturing its profound impact on our understanding of ancient Greece and Rome, and therefore the development of Western Civilization as a whole. Along the way, the author introduces us to the field's most influential figures, showcasing their methods and ideas, and illuminating the lasting contributions they have made to our understanding of the ancient world.
