Rezensionen

"The Poetry of Ennodius is the product of extensive labor and hard-earned insights. It is worthy of the poet it engages and should serve him well, bringing Ennodius's verse before new audiences and offering relief to those tasked with untangling his knotty Latin lines." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
