Philodemus: On Poems, Book 1 - On Poems

Zusatztext What we have here can almost be considered an editio princeps ... A whole new world of literary criticism is being opened up by Janko and, in time, the entire Philodemus project. Their introductions will be mined by all subsequent students of literary criticism itself and of Augustan poetry in general. Their recalcitrant texts will be consulted less often, but without the years of toil that allowed for these editions, Philodemus' contribution to the history of criticism would remain unapproeciated by all but a few classicists. Informationen zum Autor Richard Janko is Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Klappentext This edition of On Poems by Philodemus (c. 110-35 BC) reconstitutes the original sequence of the 200 existing fragments, according to a new method, while exploiting previously unknown manuscript sources and new techniques for reading the extant pieces. In thus restoring this important aesthetic treatise from antiquity, it makes a major addition to the corpus of classical literature. Zusammenfassung In Book 1, a major new addition to the corpus of classical literature, Philodemus summarises several previously unknown poetic theories. This is the first volume in a series of new texts and translations with commentary of the aesthetic works of Philodemus rescued from the lava of Vesuvius.
