Reviews

''In scope, scale and breath, Accorinti and his team deserve plaudits: the project has more than achieved its aim of providing a wide-ranging reference work for scholars of Nonnus and Late Antiquity. The expertise of the collaborators is apparent at every turn of the page; so too is the enthusiasm. Well presented with very few spelling or typographical errors,5 it will become an undoubtedly useful handbook for all future readers who come to ask the poet their questions.'' Emma Greensmith, Plekos 2018.20
