An updated history of classical philology had long been a desideratum of scholars of the ancient world. The volume edited by Diego Lanza and Gherardo Ugolini is structured in three parts. In the first one ("Towards a science of antiquity") the approach of Anglo-Saxon philology (R. Bentley) and the institutionalization of the discipline in the German academic world (C.G. Heyne and F.A.

Produktbeschreibung
An updated history of classical philology had long been a desideratum of scholars of the ancient world. The volume edited by Diego Lanza and Gherardo Ugolini is structured in three parts. In the first one ("Towards a science of antiquity") the approach of Anglo-Saxon philology (R. Bentley) and the institutionalization of the discipline in the German academic world (C.G. Heyne and F.A. Wolf) are described. In the second part ("The illusion of the archetype. Classical Studies in the Germany of the 19th Century") the theoretical contributions and main methodological disputes that followed are analysed (K. Lachmann, J.G. Hermann, A. Boeckh, F. Nietzsche and U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff). The last part ("The classical philology of the 20th century") treats the redefinition of classical studies after the Great War in Germany (W. Jaeger) and in Italy (G. Pasquali). In this context, the contributions of papyrology and of the new images of antiquity that have emerged in the works of writers, narrators, and translators of our time have been considered. This part finishes with the presentation of some of the most influential scholars of the last decades (B. Snell, E.R. Dodds, J.-P. Vernant, B. Gentili, N. Loraux).

Rezensionen
"Ohne Zweifel braucht es einen zeitlichen Abstand, um die Bedeutung des vor-liegenden Werkes für die Fachwissenschaft substantiell einordnen zu können. Jedoch ist absehbar, dass das Buch - trotz seines hohen Anschaffungspreises - im universitären Kontext das Potential hat, zu einem Handapparat-Standardwerk für alle Einführungsveranstaltungen in die Geschichte der klassischen Philologie sowie deren Arbeitstechniken zu avancieren. Studierende und weitere an der Entwicklung der Altphilologie Interessierte werden die konzisen und an prominenten Vertreter/-innen ausgerichteten Darstellungen zu schät-zen wissen. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es in englischer Sprache verfasst wurde, ist zudem ein hoher Verbreitungsgrad zu erwarten, der diesem bedeu-tenden Sammelband unbedingt zu wünschen ist."
