Reviews

written in clear language, aimed at comprehension rather than ostentatious exhibitionism ... For those scholars wishing to delve deeper into the text, Thonemann grounds his analysis in linguistic knowledge too ... References to modern examples also provide greater understanding and supporting points with evidence from other ancient texts offer the reader a more substantial basis on which to study this unique text within the ancient context. * Anactoria Clarke, Classics for All *
