{"product_id":"apuleius-philosophical-works-magnaldi-9780198841418","title":"Apuleius: Philosophical Works (Apulei Opera Philosophica)","description":"This new critical edition aims to provide a new standard text of Apuleius' \u003cem\u003eDe Deo Socratis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDe Platone et eius dogmate\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eDe mundo\u003c\/em\u003e, allowing readers to get closer than ever before to the philosophical writings of the renowned orator, extraordinary prose stylist, and Platonist philosopher. Knowledge of these three works is crucial to understanding the reinterpretation and transmission of Greek philosophical thought in the Latin world: based on a new collation of the ancient manuscripts and scrupulous investigation of all previous editions, the Latin text presented here relies on a safer ms. basis than its predecessors. The enforcement of the criterion of the so-called 'signal-word' in particular has enabled improved solutions for many textual problems to be found, some older emendations to be confirmed, and previously unnoticed corruptions to be located and cogently healed, while the rich and detailed apparatus criticus selectively focuses on only plausible conjectures in doubtful passages. A fluent Latin \u003cem\u003epraefatio\u003c\/em\u003e offers a neat explanation of the principles which have been adopted throughout the edition, while also ably balancing comprehensive coverage of the main manuscript sources, their histories, and their relationships with lucidity and concision, despite the intricacy of the textual tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giuseppina Magnaldi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198841418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198841418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 4.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Giuseppina Magnaldi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990631907583,"sku":"9780198841418","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13f19786-9203-4f2e-ac89-b73c568b5462.jpg?v=1683305768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apuleius-philosophical-works-magnaldi-9780198841418","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
