PAPERBACK, worn used copy with clear tape neatly covering spine AND with old dry moisture wrinkling along top edge and corner of rear sections, ink markings on at least one page, still quite usable reading and study copy despite wear and damage. KIRK, G. S. The Iliad: a commentary Volume 1. Books 1-4 - COPY WITH SOME DAMAGE. Cambridge University Press, 1990, reprinted, xxv, 409pp., . This is the first volume of a projected six-volume Commentary on Homer's Iliad, under the General Editorship of professor G.S. Kirk. Professor Kirk himself is the editor of the present volume, which covers the first four Books of Iliad. It consists of four introductory chapters, dealing in particular with rhythm and formular techniques, followed by the detailed commentary which aims at helping serious readers by attempting to identify and deal with most of the difficulties which might stand in the way of a sensitive and informed response to the poem. The Catalogues in Book 2 receive especially full treatment. The book does not include a Greek text - important matters pertaining to the text are discussed in the commentary. It is hoped that the volume as a whole will lead scholars to a better understanding of the epic style as well as of many well-known thematic problems on a larger scale. This Commentary will be an essential reference work for all students of Greek literature. Archaeologists and historians will also find that it contains matters of relevance to them. 9780521281713 ISBN 0521281717.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Foxing to textblock and endpapers. ; This is the third volume in the major six-volume Commentary on Homer s Iliad prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk. It opens with two introductory chapters: the first on Homeric diction (on which emphasis is maintained throughout the Commentary) ; the second on the contributions that comparative studies have made to seeing the Homeric epics in sharper perspective. In the commentary Dr Hainsworth confronts in an intentionally even-handed manner the serious problems posed by the ninth, tenth and twelfth books of The Iliad, seeking by means of a succinct discussion and a brief bibliography of recent contributions to furnish the user with a point of entry into the often voluminous scholarship devoted to these questions. The Greek text is not included. ; The Iliad: a Commentary; Vol. 3; 0.89 x 8.98 x 6 Inches; 402 pages.

Book Signed
Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Foxing to textblock and endpapers. Gift inscription from the author to G. P. Goold on half-title. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). ; This, the fourth volume in the six-volume Commentary on The Iliad being prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk, covers Books 13-16, including the Battle for the Ships, the Deception of Zeus and the Death of Patroklos. Three introductory essays discuss the role of Homer s gods in his poetry; the origins and development of the epic diction; and the transmission of the text, from the bard s lips to our own manuscripts. It is now widely recognised that the first masterpiece of Western literature is an oral poem; Professor Janko s detailed commentary aims to show how this recognition can clarify many linguistic and textual problems, entailing a radical reassessment of the work of Homer s Alexandrian editors. The commentary also explores the poet s subtle creativity in adapting traditional materials, whether formulae, typical scenes, mythology or imagery, so as best to move, inspire and entertain his audience, ancient and modern alike. Discussion of the poem s literary qualities and structure is, where possible, kept separate from that of more technical matters. ; The Iliad: a Commentary; Vol. 4; 0.93 x 9.02 x 6 Inches; 485 pages; Signed by Author.
