Full-Leather. Condition: Very Good. Complete set of the First Edition of the famous "Benedictine Edition', published in Paris 1718-1738. "This is the best edition, and the result of about twenty years of the patient labor of Montfaucon (d. Dec. 21, 1741, 86 years old), and several assistants of the brotherhood of St. Maur. More than three hundred mss. were made use of, but the eight principal mss., as Field has shown, were not very carefully collated. Montfaucon, who at the date of the completion of his edition was 83 years old, prepared valuable prefaces to every treatise and set of homilies, arranged the works in chronological order, and added in vol. XIII. learned dissertations on the life, doctrine, discipline and heresies of the age of Chrysostom." Large format folio volumes approx. 10 x 16.5 inches, bound in thick full leather boards of the period, spines in 7 compartments with extra gilt and 2 spine labels; complete 13 volume set; apparently rebacked to style sometime late 18th century; internally clean and text blocks square and tight, unmarked with minimal age toning; rubs and bumps to all edges and corners, covers detached in Vol. XII, other joints tight; very heavy set probably over 100 pounds, no International shipping, upcharge for expedited domestic delivery.…

Cambridge University Press, 1992 (ed). Digital printing. 276p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics - Imperial Library. 'The introduction to D.'s life and work (pp.1-25) is worth anyone's while: broad, yet with revealing detail, artfully constructed, literate, humane, striking judicious distinctions and nice balances between philosophy and rhetoric, moral earnestness and entertainment, showing good judgement on crucial issues (e.g. the importance of Musonius' influence on D.), and including valuable general discussion of each of the three works. (.) within the commentary R.'s greatest strength is his tremendous understanding of the grammar, syntax and stylistic nuances of Greek prose and of the divergences from Classical practice (.) and again R. constitution, interpretation and translation of the text are decisively superior to those of the Loeb (.). R. is also preditably full and excellent on literary echoes, rhetorical techniques, and philosophical influences, particularly Stoic and Platonic. (.) There are weaknesses. (.) R. does not seem to me especially at home in D.'s distinctive world. (.) In general, R. shows little interest in 'close reading. (.) Yet a reviewer's complaints, while perhaps necessary, are churlish and ungrateful when so much has been given. We should praise R.'s enterprise in presenting so attractive an introduction to D. and his success in analysing and explaining some of the best Greek prose of the later period in a manner which will delight and instruct all his readers.' (JOHN MOLES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1993, pp.256-58).…
