کتاب بزرگ: کتاب‌پایان، عنوان‌های پایانی و کرونیدها در پاپیروس‌ها با شعرهای هکزامتر

A systematic and chronological investigation into the nature and development of end-titles in papyrus rolls and codices of hexameter poetry from the 3rd century BC to the 6th century AD. The bulk of the evidence for presentation of hexametric verse derives from Homeric papyri (51 papyrus copies), although Hesiod'sTheogony,Works & Days, andShield (two), and Oppian'sHalieutica likewise supply data (one). For comparative purposes the author also provides a sampling of end-titles in non-epic genres. The discussion of individual papyri and summation of the results are rich and informative. Includes bibliographical references, charts with comparative statistics, and pertinent indices.
