Reviews
a welcome and much needed work ... the attentive reader will find much of importance, even if he is not a linguist. Classical World The book is meticulously produced, no small achievement given the complexities of linguistic notation. Particularly useful is the large series of drawings of inscriptions, mostly done by the author from autopsy. Classical World ... it is timely to have Wachter's comprehensive treatment of the inscriptions on pottery other than Attic. Classical World Wachter is meticulous in his readings ... a gold mine of information that will be plundered for years to come: spelling, dialects, phonology, onomastics and such - all this data is a boon to students of epigraphy, dialects, mythology, ethnicity and so on. It is a solid and painstaking work of reference, and one can only marvel at the industry and dedication of the author ... easy to navigate and is furnished with a generous supply of indices. The Antiquaries Journal Readers who value length, density and sheer volume of information will find plenty to interest them in Non-Attic Greek Vase Inscriptions, with its detailed catalogues and transcriptions of known inscriptions on vases other than those of Athens and south Italy ... convenient and accessible ... seven invaluable indices ... illustrations are well chosen and reproduced ... The quantity and range of information here presented is highly impressive. Antiquity
