Oxford University Press, Date: 1991 8vo (21.5 cm), IX, 321 pp, 16 plates. Laminated wrappers (bookplate and collector's blind stamp on the title). One of the remarkable facts about the history of Western culture is that we are still in a position to read large amounts of the literature produced in classical Greece and Rome despite the fact that for at least a millennium and a half all copies had to be produced by hand and were subject to the hazards of fire, flood, and war. This book explains how the texts survived and gives an account of the reasons why it was thought worthwhile to spend the necessary effort to preserve them for future generations. The third edition takes into account the numerous discoveries in this rapidly-advancing field of knowledge by offering substantial revisions and additions. A note on how to interpret the information given in an apparatus criticus is also included. 1991. Oxford University Press ISBN 0198721463 9780198721468 [PL]
