The Dutch Ammianus commentary is a glorious example of
collaborative scholarship. (…) Before any disagreements uttered in
this review, it should be said that the achievement is magnificent,
a model of linguistic, literary, and historical learning; this work
will be consulted with profit for generations. And before a review
focusing mainly on chronology and textual criticism, it should be
emphasized that the authors’ coverage is wide-ranging—from the
nuances of Latin particles through subtleties of characterization
to detailed questions of topography—and the bibliography
comprehensive.
