1. Scribes And Scholars
A Guide to the Transmission of Greek and Latin Literature
Offers a concise history of how Greek and Latin literature was transmitted from antiquity to the modern age, tracing the work of scribes, scholars, and printers, and the evolution from scroll to codex to print. It introduces the principles of textual criticism, paleography, and manuscript stemmatics, showing how errors arise, how readings are evaluated, and how classical texts are reconstructed. Case studies illustrate the survival and revival of key works and the institutions and practices that shaped the classical tradition.
