Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This anthology will certainly be an essential support for the beginner and a significant source of information for the advanced student, but insufficient for the accomplished scholar. Scientific study of written sources would require the full quotation of the original text, or at least of the essential terms, and a complete index of the Latin and Greek terms and names. Sadly enough, both are missing, though no translation can render the full range of all the possible meanings of an original term, and express doubt about its significance. The absence of the original sources, which could and should have been included into the pfd version of the enclosed CD-ROM, will contribute to the doom of Latin and Greek, which is in full progress among the young generations who will, in a near future, depend and rely entirely upon vernacular substitutes and second hand interpretations, however excellent they may be.
