Trade Review
An excellent collection shedding light on many facets of the translation (and publication) of classical literature. * Complete Review *
Thought-provoking…Illustrates how much the ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and South Asian ‘classics’ have to offer us, either in the original or in translation…The illuminating chapters on the four Libraries provide a major contribution to the field of classical publications and demonstrate that bilingual editions are a promising topic within the study of translations. -- Mirte Liebregts * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
