Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus XXVII: Philological and Historical Commentary on Ammianus Marcellinus, cartea 8

Autor Jan den Boeft, Jan Willem Drijvers, Daniël den Hengst, Hans C. Teitler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2009
Book 27 deals with events between 365 and 370. Military operations in the western and eastern half of the Empire take up a large part of the available space. Apart from military matters Ammianus deals with internal affairs. He discusses the terms of office of four Roman urban prefects and paints a picture of Petronius Probus, the mightiest civil official of the period. The most striking part of the book contains a portrait of the emperor Valentinian. This passage forms the centre of the book, which therefore has the structure of a triptych: of the two outer parts each contains military affairs in the West and the East and reports on some notable non-military events, whilst in the central panel Valentinian takes pride of place.

Recenzii

The Dutch Ammianus commentary is a glorious example of collaborative scholarship. (…) Before any disagreements uttered in this review, it should be said that the achievement is magnificent, a model of linguistic, literary, and historical learning; this work will be consulted with profit for generations. And before a review focusing mainly on chronology and textual criticism, it should be emphasized that the authors’ coverage is wide-ranging—from the nuances of Latin particles through subtleties of characterization to detailed questions of topography—and the bibliography comprehensive.
Gavin Kelly (Journal of Roman Studies 103, November 2013, pp 351 – 353)
