Reviews
'The third edition of this superb work has been carefully revised to reflect advances in classical scholarship since publication of the previous edition. The work is indispensable for classical students who have not read the previous edition, and recommended for those who want recentinformation on an essential subject.'Gerald O'Sullivan, Stockton State College, Classical World, "A valuable resource for both graduate student and scholar....Every student of ancient literature needs to own and read this book."--Classical Bulletin "A thorough, lively and up-to-date assessment of a complex historical process; an excellent introduction."--Charles Witke, University of Michigan Praise for the First Edition: "This is an excellent book; its authors have fulfilled with striking success their aim to produce 'a simple introduction for beginners to the processes by which Greek and Latin literature have been preserved.' They have dealt with the essentials of this vast subject, and with the rudiments of textual criticism, in five very readable chapters, and their book deserves to be lastingly popular with...undergraduates."--Journal of Hellenic Studies "Indispensable for classical students who have not read the previous edition, and recommended for those who want recent information on an essential subject."--The Classical World "The many virtues of this book, which has become a classic of its kind, have been widely recognized and justly praised."--Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 'For the third edition the authors have not only brought the bibliographical notes up to date but also made extensive amendments and additions, both small and large, throughout the text.'James Diggle, Queens' College, Cambridge, The Classical Review'This is a very fine book indeed. The text is written with admirable lucidity, wit and charm. The book itself is a clearly printed and stout paperback, well worth the reommended retail price of $44.95, and of course, as befits a volume produced by the Oxford University Press on this topic above all, the text is flawless. Clearly I would recommend Scribes and Scholars as a valuable acquisition for a school library which could be consulted withprofit by senior students ... this book, with its overwhelming proof of the centrality of Classics in the western tradition, is essential reading.'M. Dyson, University of Queensland, Ancient History, 1992, No. 2'This enlarged version remains a valuable resource for both graduate student and scholar. Scribes and Scholars is a book which has done much good and will continue to do so.'E.

Synopsis
The third edition of Scribes and Scholars takes into account the numerous discoveries in this rapidly-advancing field of knowledge by offering substantial revisions and additions. A note on how to interpret the information given in an apparatus criticus is also included., In the second edition of this classic work a section of notes was included, and a new chapter was added which dealt with some aspects of scholarship since the Renaissance. For this third edition the authors have responded to the urgent need to take account of the very large number of discoveries in this rapidly advancing field of knowledge by substantially revising or enlarging certain sections., This is an excellent book; its authors have fulfilled with striking success their aim to produce "a simple introdution for beginners to the processes by which Greek and Latin literature have been preserved". They have dealt with the essentials of this vast subject, and with the rudiments of textual criticism, in five very readable chapters, and their book deserves to be lastingly popular with sixth-formers and undergraduates.P. E. Easterling in the Journal of Hellenistic Studies
