"A founding father of the 'art of philology,' Aristarchus of Samothrace (216-144 BCE)
made a profound contribution to ancient scholarship. In his study of Homer's Iliad,
his methods and principles inevitably informed, even reshaped, his edition of the
epic. This systematic study places Aristarchus and his fragments preserved in the
Iliadic scholia, or marginal annotations, in the context and cultural environment
of his own time. Francesca Schironi presents a more robust picture of Aristarchus
as a scholar than anyone has offered previously. Based on her analysis of over 4,300
fragments from his commentary on the Iliad, she reconstructs Aristarchus' methodology
and its relationship to earlier scholarship, especially Aristotelian poetics. Schironi
departs from the standard commentary on individual fragments, and instead organizes
them by topic to produce a rigorous scholarly examination of how Aristarchus worked.
Combining the accuracy and detail of traditional philology with a big-picture study
of recurrent patterns and methodological trends across Aristarchus' work, this volume
offers a new approach to scholarship in Alexandrian and classical philology. It will
be the go-to reference book on this topic for many years to come, and will usher in
a new way of addressing the highly technical work of ancient scholars without losing
philological accuracy. This book will be valuable to classicists and philologists
interested in Homer and Homeric criticism in antiquity, Hellenistic scholarship, and
ancient literary criticism"--Publisher's website
