The Story of Apollonius, King of Tyre - Study of its Greek Origin and an Edition of 2 Oldest Latin Recensions

Informationen zum Autor George A.A. Kortekaas took his doctorate in Classical Philology in 1984 in the University of Groningen. He is a specialist in Late and Medieval Latin. His numerous publications include studies on the various aspects of the story of Apollonius. Klappentext The author, who is a specialist on the problems around The Story of Apollonius, King of Tyre, makes a pioneer attempt to tackle the question of its origin (Latin or Greek?) systematically. He concludes that a longer Greek original is probable, and that it can be localised in Asia Minor, perhaps in Tarsus. An edition of the major Latin recensions rounds off his study.
