book: New Approaches to Phrynichus' ›Sophistic Preparation‹

Prynichus’ Sophisticated preparation ranks not last among the
most importat works of ancient scholarly literature which we wish we
could read in its original, full redaction. It was Phrynichus’ great work,
and the high status of this work was still acknowledged in Byzantine
intellectual circles. This volume brings some new light to the Sophisticated preparation
and its history, focusing on three areas of interest: (1) its context
of production and linguistic theorisation; (2) its stylistic
theorisation and interpretative framework; (3) the direct and indirect
transmission from antiquity, through Late Antiquity, and down to the
Byzantine era. The volume will be of interest to Classicists working on
the linguistic theories of Atticism and the literary practice of the
Second Sophistic.
