Demosthenes (384-322 b.c.) was an Athenian statesman and a widely read author whose life, times, and rhetorical abilities captivated the minds of generations. Sifting through the rubble of a mostly lost tradition of ancient scholarship, Craig A. Gibson tells the story of how one group of ancient scholars helped their readers understand this man's writings. This book collects for the first time, translates, and offers explanatory notes on all the substantial fragments of ancient philological and historical commentaries on Demosthenes. Using these texts to illuminate an important aspect of Graeco-Roman antiquity that has hitherto been difficult to glimpse, Gibson gives a detailed portrait of a scholarly industry that touched generations of ancient readers from the first century b.c. to the fifth century and beyond.In this lucidly organized work, Gibson surveys the physical form of the commentaries, traces the history of how they were passed down, and explains their sources, interests, and readership. He also includes a complete collection of Greek texts, English translations, and detailed notes on the commentaries

Le dossier « Corps antiques : morceaux choisis » s'intéresse aux représentations d'un membre ou d'un organe conçu dans sa singularité, aux dispositifs d'isolement et de distinction visuels et symboliques dans les discours, les images, les assemblages votifs grecs et romains, et les constructions muséographiques contemporaines. "Ancient bodies: Selected Pieces" deals with the representations of an organ or body part in its particularity, and with the visual and symbolic devices to isolate and distinguish them in the Greek and Roman discourses, images, votive assemblages, and in contemporary museography constructions.
