About this title

Synopsis

6. On p. 226 of the Testimonia, you request that we change “Longinos” to “Pseudeo-Longinos.” In November of last year you wanted to change this in the introduction. When we asked what to do about all the other references to Longinos in the book you responded, on Nov. 8: “About Longinos, given what you have noticed, I think the best thing is to keep calling him Longinos throughout the book, but put a footnote the firstplace Longinos appears in intro, on page 3 fn: "Many scholars now call Longinos, the first-century author of On the Sublime (put in italic, please) as the Pseudo-Longinos to distinguish him from Cassius Longinos, a third-century author who through the nineteenth century was incorrectly believed to have composed this major treatise."  We now have a footnote for this in the intro. I think we should leave it as is now, or else we’ll reflow the intro if we remove the footnote.
