Description

Hardcover in price-clipped dust-jacket. 200 pages. Index. First edition, first printing. Dover employs a rigorous examination of the ancient speeches attributed to the Athenian orator Lysias using not only a study of the extant texts, but “methodically evaluates the main tools used historically to identify authenticity: chronology, ideology, genre, and stylometry: the criteria scholars and ancient editors used to establish authorship.” No previous ownership marks. A clean and unmarked copy in dust-jacket, which shows moderate toning to spine and rear cover. Very good in a very good dust-jacket
