  • Description: Another fascinating study is provided by a versatile specialist in Greek comedy and medicine, Mario Lamagna, whose main concern here is to draw attention to Menanders otherwise little-known role in the long-term argument between rhetoricians about Atticism, an argument partly responsible for the loss of Menanders plays in the Middle Ages. ISBN: 0-900587-98-9. doi:10.1017/S0009840X06002678 In this exploration of sixteenth-century Latin epigraphy, Stenhouse demonstrates how a group of scholars active in Rome between 1545 and 1555 developed standards, some of which remain current even today, for the publication of inscriptions, and how they deployed epigraphy as historical evidence in forward-thinking ways. The second chapter analyses the process of transferring stone The Classical Review vol. 56 no. 2 The Classical Association 2006; all rights reserved 504 the classical review or bronze texts to the written or printed page, and the evolution of methods of classifying and indexing epigraphical publications. S. interprets the eorts of Annius and others as a reection both of the attraction of claiming links with antiquity, and of the great value attached to arguments supported by epigraphical evidence. [...]S. suggests that the recommendations made for detecting forgeries actually contributed to the development of the science of epigraphy.
