Item description from seller

pp. 156-166. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: It is well-known that at the beginning of the Life of Demosthenes, in one of the rare instances in which Plutarch speaks about himself, he tells the reader that only late in life did he begin to come into contact with texts written in Latin. He adds that, by the time he was writing this, he had attained the capability of reading a Latin text treating matters he was somehow familiar with, so that the expertise he had acquired elsewhere made him able to understand the language, rather than the other way around - that is, using knowledge of the language as a means to gain the information he needed. We may believe him when he says this is true, in spite of its seeming strangeness. Many of us may have experienced something similar at the beginning of our academic career, when we began reading books and papers in foreign languages we were not necessarily already familiar with, and soon attained the ability to find our way around texts treating subjects akin to those which we were studying ourselves.
