Aristarch, Aristophanes Byzantios, Demetrios Ixion, Zenodot

For the first time, the Alexandrine fragments on the Iliad have been systematically compiled and newly edited with a commentary, and unlike all earlier editions, special attention has been given to their transmitted form. Van Thiel s innovative view of the ancient Ekdoseis as working copies and his systematic consideration of the D-scholia make this edition an indispensable tool for further studies on the transmission of the Iliad."
