"This is the second volume of the Catalogus (the now seventy-year-old brainchild of the great Renaissance scholar Paul Oskar Kristeller) to be published in a new format under the editorship of Greti Dinkova-Bruun. By happy coincidence, all the articles it contains deal broadly with what may be described as ancient historiography. The four Greek contributions deal with two Hellenistic writers, Polybius and Diodorus Siculus, and two from late antiquity, Zosimus and Procopius of Caesarea. On the Latin side, the one entry deals with the widely disseminated and highly influential pseudohistory of the Trojan War by Dares Phrygius, also a product of late antiquity. As always, contributors combine detailed and accurate information about manuscripts and early printed editions with copious quotations of paratextual material. Each article begins with an overview of the author's reception, in some cases reaching up to the present day. I am confident that this collection, like its predecessors, will quickly become the essential first port-of-call for scholars interested in the fortuna of the authors and works with which it is concerned." -- Keith Sidwell, University of Calgary
