Jones, Howard PRINTING THE CLASSICAL TEXT
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2004 6.25 x 9.75 inches hardcover 238 pages
Printing the Classical Text presents a comprehensive survey of the period in which the first Classical text was printed in 1465 through the end of 1500. The opening chapter of the book locates Classical printing within the wider context by reviewing some of the cultural, intellectual, and commercial factors which affected the printing industry as a whole during the first fifty years of its development. The two central chapters are devoted to the Latin and Greek editions.
Latin editions, representing more than ninety percent of the whole, include comprehensive chronological listings that detail the printing history of each of the more than seventy authors represented, a synoptic chart, and running commentary in which the author identifies observable patterns and highlights the text's most distinctive features. An account of the introduction of Greek studies into Italy, where all fifteenth-century editions of Greek authors were printed, and a review of the typographical challenges that the earliest printers of Greek texts faced is followed by an examination of each of the Greek editions in the context of its printer's instinctive publishing program. In the concluding chapter, the author examines what the process of editing involved and attempts to assign to the earliest printed Classical editions their appropriate place in the evolution of the authoritative text in light of both the claims which the earliest editors themselves made and the less enthusiastic judgment rendered by modern critics. Illustrated in black-and-white.
Howard Jones is Professor of Classics at McMaster University in Canada, and is the author of books on Cicero, Gassendi, and the Epicurean tradition.
