About the Author:
Mark J. Schiefsky, Ph.D. (1999) in Classical Philosophy (Harvard), is Assistant Professor of the Classics at Harvard University. He has published a number of articles and reviews in the fields of ancient philosophy and science, particularly medicine and mechanics.
Review:
'Schiefsky's book is the first commentary of VM in English. It was preceded by two important French studies [..]. In comparison to the earlier commentaries, Schiefsky is much more interested in placing VM in the tradition of Greek philosophy. Moreover, given how he has benefited from research subsequent to Festugière but also has made substantial new contributions of his own, one can see why this new publication will become a standard reference book in the field.'
