Reviews

Alessandro Garcea succeeds admirably in bringing Caesar's project back to life. His edition with commentary of the meagre and thorny evidence is a masterpiece of philological reconstruction.
*Ingo Gildenhard, TLS*

thoughtful contribution to our understanding of this text ... an invaluable contribution
*Andrew M. Riggsby, Exemplaria Classica*

Anyone interested in the intellectual history of the late Republic or in the history of Roman thought about the Latin language will profit from [this book].
*JAMES E. G. ZETZEL, CJ-Online*

[Garcea] should be commended for producing a useful and much needed edition, which successfully frames the few fragments surviving from De Analogia within the political and cultural contexts of the end of the republic and within contemporary scholarly debates. His work is thus of value not only to linguists, but should be consulted by a vast array of scholars.
*Luca Grillo, sehepunkte*

G. contributes greatly to the study of Late Republican intellectual culture ... the edition achieves high standards of accuracy and clarity in comparison with its predecessors ... the scrupulous apparatus give ample space to alternatives and prompts further reflection. It is difficult to do more than hint at the riches of the commentary.
*Adam Gitner, Gnomon*

It would take a supreme effort to find anything very critical to say about this work, which represents high scholarly quality and is very informative, even for specialists.
*Anneli Luhtala, Historiographia Linguistica*
