Reviews

[James Sinks · Rating 2 out of 5]

Interesting text, but bad poetry, bad scribe, and a terrible editor. There are eight pages of corrections at the end of volume 2 and the corrigenda are sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to apply correctly because the erroneous reading is rarely given, only the correction. Some of the corrigenda are themselves in error, or point to the wrong line number. Even after I'd corrected the text, I was still seeing obvious editorial or typographic errors as I read it through.
