Recenzii

"This book represents a welcome contribution to a surge of recent studies on the Greek Alexander Romance. (...) Nawotka provides the first full commentary in English. The choice of language will ensure that the commentary reaches an even wider scholarly community, which is useful because Nawotka collates and updates much of the previous scholarship on the text. Taken together with the previous and forthcoming publications on the greater Alexander tradition from Wroclaw, this book builds momentum for further study of the text’s origins and development." Christian Thrue Djurslev, Bryn Mawr Classical Review , 2018.04.47
