Ricardi Porsoni ADVERSARIA: Notae et Emendationes in Poetas Graecos quas Ex Schedis Manuscriptis Porsoni

Descripción

Edited from Richard Porson's notebooks by his Cambridge colleagues, James Henry Monk and Charles James Blomfield, this posthumously published collection includes Porson's prelection (delivered when he was a candidate for the Regius Professorship of Greek) and notes and emendations to his monumental edition of Euripides as well as to editions of other Greek writings. Among his contributions to nineteenth-century classical scholarship was the discovery of a rule relating to the position of words in Greek trimeters which is still known as Porson's law. His scholarly style, which focused on metre and language rather than interpretation, set the standard for classical textual criticism at Cambridge for several decades. Octavo: xvii, 334, [1] p. with a frontispiece portrait. In a period one-half calf over marbled paper binding, with a morocco spine label and decorative gilt and blind stamping. Just a hint of foxing to the prefatory and concluding leaves. The boards are scuffed along the extremities; else very good. N° de ref. del artículo 76410
