Reviews

The author is to be commended for the skillful work that is in evidence throughout, and the press for undertaking a major project on an author who has rarely received his due. This is a marvelously rendered, well proofread, very much needed resource that joins the ranks of standard commentaries on Latin prose authors. * Lee Fratantuono, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
