Ancient Greek Scholarship: A Guide to Finding, Reading, and Understanding Scholia, Commentaries, Lexica, and Grammatical Treatises, from Their Beginnings to the Byzantine Period: Society for Classical Studies Classical Resources

Autor Eleanor Dickey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mar 2007

Abordarea interdisciplinară a volumului Ancient Greek Scholarship reunește filologia clasică, istoria ideilor și lingvistica, oferind un instrument de lucru esențial pentru navigarea prin corpusul vast și adesea opac al erudiției grecești antice. Observăm că Eleanor Dickey propune o metodologie riguroasă pentru descifrarea scholiilor, comentariilor și tratatelor gramaticale, materiale care au fost mult timp subutilizate din cauza convențiilor tehnice dificile și a lipsei traducerilor. Structura cărții este una eminamente didactică, fiind concepută să ghideze cititorul de la stadiul de începător în greaca veche (cu doar doi ani de studiu) până la nivelul de cercetător capabil să utilizeze independent un aparat critic.

Subliniem faptul că această ediție publicată de Oxford University Press nu se limitează la o prezentare istorică, ci funcționează ca un manual practic. Analiza cuprinde evaluări ale edițiilor de text existente și o bibliografie impresionantă de 1200 de titluri, facilitând accesul la resurse care anterior necesitau ani de specializare. Cititorii familiarizați cu Brill's Companion to Ancient Greek Scholarship (2 Vols.) vor aprecia modul în care volumul lui Dickey completează perspectiva istorică a lui Franco Montanari cu o componentă aplicată: glosarul de 1500 de termeni și cele 200 de exerciții de traducere. În timp ce alte lucrări similare, precum cele coordonate de Stephanos Matthaios, se concentrează pe contextul ideologic al gramaticii, Ancient Greek Scholarship rămâne ancorată în necesitățile imediate ale studentului, oferind chei de interpretare pentru abrevierile complexe și sistemele numerice antice întâlnite în manuscrise și papirusuri.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această lucrare oricărui student sau cercetător care dorește să demistifice textele tehnice grecești. Ancient Greek Scholarship transformă studiul scholiilor dintr-o corvoadă într-un proces logic, oferind instrumentele necesare pentru a citi direct izvoarele bizantine și antice. Este un ghid de referință care elimină barierele lingvistice și terminologice, fiind indispensabil pentru seminarele de critică textuală și istoria limbii grecești.


Recenzii

Ancient Greek Scholarship comprises both a finding aid (a through survey of the material, with explanations of the sources and their transmission, and guidance on editions and secondary literature) and a tutorial (an introduction to scholarly Greek, with an anthology of texts and a glossary of technical usages). Every research student should have this invaluable resource thrust upon them
A practical, down-to-earth approach to problems is the hallmark of Dickey's style, and a genuine love for Classics and its students permeates every page of this book. After reading it, I both feel more knowledgeable about ancient scholarship and glad that such an intricate subject could be presented in such an interesting way. The book is not just an indespensible tool: it is, above all, a great pleasure to read. I warmly recommend it to both students and experts.
This book fills a deep need...grateful that a competent and knowledgable scholar has compiled such a useful guide to such an important yet intractable body of material.
Dickey has received much praise, from linguists as well as classicists, for her monographs on Greek and Latin forms of address. How she has published a handbook to ancient Greek scholarship, which manifests the erudition, precision, and uncommon good sense known to her earlier readers.
Dickey has truly done an excellent job
Dickey's book is carefully written, scrupulously edited, and well-produced
Any serious student of Greek will want to possess it.

Descriere

Ancient greek sholarship constitutes a precious resource for classicists, but one that is underutilized because graduate students and even mature scholars lack familiarity with its conventions. The peculiarities of scholarly Greek and the lack of translations or scholarly aids often discourages readers from exploiting the large body of commentaries, scholia, lexica, and grammatical treatises that have been preserved on papyrus and via the manuscript tradition. Now, for the first time, there is an introduction to such scholarship that will enable students and scholars unfamiliar with this material to use it in their work. Ancient Greek Scholarship includes detailed discussion of the individual ancient authors on whose works scholia, commentaries, or single-author lexica exist, together with explanations of the probable sources of that scholarship and the ways it is now used, as well as descriptions of extant grammatical works and general lexica. These discussions, and the annotated bibliography of more than 1200 works, also include evaluations of the different texts of each work and of a variety of electronic resources.This book not only introduces readers to ancient scholarship, but also teaches them how to read it. Here readers will find a detailed, step-by-step introduction to the language, a glossary of over 1500 grammatical terms, and a set of more than 200 passages for translation, each accompanied by commentary. The commentaries offer enough help to enable undergraduates with as little as two years of Greek to translate most passages with confidence; in addition, readers are given aids to handling the ancient numerical systems, understanding the references found in works of ancient scholarship, and using an apparatus criticus (including an extensive key to the abbreviations used in an apparatus). Half the passages are accompanied by a key, so that the book is equally suitable for those studying on their own and for classes with graded homework.
