"It is not a work of reference in the traditional sense: Rousseau compares it to a journey in the company of enthusiastic experts guiding the reader through their favorite areas. The contributors have been well chosen. Production and editing are excellent. Richly rewarding,"---Bryn Mawr Classical Review. 734 pages, softcover. Wiley-Blackwell.
