Reviews

'This is a thoroughly professional commentary, long overdue, certainly the soundest available guide for anyone beginning to read Lucretius, and all written with a brevity that comes near to wit.' David West, Journal of Roman Studies 'The result ... is excitingly successful ... Somehow [the editor] has managed ... to talk about the important matters, to ask the right questions, to admit uncertainty, and to elucidate the purport of individual paragraphs and yet not to lose sight of their particular function within the Book as a whole.' J. P. Elder, American Journal of Philosophy 'Fur die grammatisch-stilistische Einzelerklarung ist K.s Kommentar vorzuglich; hier leistet er nicht selten Besseres als Bailey. Dem mit L.'Sprache unvertrauten Anfanger wird er ein nutzlicher Helfer sein; die Mittel und die Kunst der Darstellung ... werden sachkundig erlautert.' Konrad Muller, Gnomon
