Reviews
Each of these essays is a notable contribution to our understanding of the papyrus. The volume as a whole marks an important milestone in the rather unfortunate history of the Derveni papyrus. John A. Palmer, The Classical Review Performs a great srvice ... It includes the first ever English translation of the whole papyrus ... The essays comprise a useful survey of scholarship on the papyrus. The standard of the contributions is high, and the book will be indispensable for further study. Times Literary Supplement Brings the papyrus firmly into mainstream ancient philosophy, to be taken seriously as a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual market-place of the time. Phronesis This extremely valuable book is highly recommended for scholars from a number of disciplines. This is the only book (so far) dedicated to the Derveni papyrus; otherwise, articles on the subject are scattered far and wide. For this reason, and because of the crucial importance of the papyrus, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. - Robin Waterfield-Heythrop Journal Vol.40 No.3 July 1999
