Description
An introduction to, text of, and commentary on Callimachus' Aetia (`Causes'), an important and influential poem written in Alexandria in the third century BC. Previously lost, it has now been largely reconstructed from papyrus finds.
Let us welcome the new Oxford edition for a clear and precise presentation of the evidence
a dazzingly learned commentary ... totally absorbing
Many who know [Harder's] work well ... have been waiting for this commentary eagerly and with great anticipation. The wait is over and anticipation justified! ... Harder has managed to collect, organize, and assimilate a breath-taking amount of material, ancient and modern, in this latest and most up-to-date edition of Callimachuss magnum opus ... I find myself profoundly impressed by the painstaking research, well- reasoned conclusions, and relaxed style that invites readers to study and admire the many and various academic exhibits on display throughout this remarkable mouseion, if you will, of Callimachean scholarship.
This is a work of consummate scholarship. Harder attributes it to her 'youthful hubris' back in the early 1980s. If so, then that is the sort of youthful hubris that is worth its weight in gold.
The appearance of this commentary has been greeted with a huge sigh of relief.
