Description

Book Synopsis
This major overview of how classical texts were preserved across millennia addresses both the process of transmission and the issue of reception, as well as the key reference works and online professional tools for studying literary transmission.

Trade Review
Hunt, Smith, and Stok have produced a valuable and useful book…Especially as Classics continues to be a source of interest and even contention in the public eye, the history of the field should remain of vital interest to students…The present volume offers a rich and engaging starting point. * New England Classical Journal *
