Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Philippic: With an Introduction and Notes
Rehdantz does not profess to give perfectly ade quate translations in his notes. This, he thinks, is often impossible even for the best scholars. He endeavours to make the reader feel and understand what Demosthenes meant. And generally he makes grammatical and lexical explanation subordinate to the analysis of the far more praised than demon strated power (sea/67119) of Demosthenic expression, see the close of the Introduction. The peculiar principle of his edition is, as Prof. Blass says, a pre ponderance of rhetorical and aesthetical explanation. And in his preface and elsewhere Rehdantz insists on frequent reading aloud and learning by heart as essential to a proper understanding of the orator.
