It was Phrynichus' \u003cem\u003emagnum opus\u003c\/em\u003e, and the high status of this work was still acknowledged in Byzantine intellectual circles. This volume brings some new light to the \u003cem\u003ePraeparatio sophistica\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Favi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111579905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111579900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Federico Favi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579923185919,"sku":"9783111579900","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44cea942-9a11-44ea-b162-f03dda374fa7.jpg?v=1763877599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-approaches-to-phrynichus-praeparatio-federico-favi-9783111579900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
