IAMBI ET ELEGI GRAECI VOL 2 2E C

Iambi et Elegi Graeci contains in two volumes all that survives and has been published of pre-Alexandrian elegy and iambus with the relevant testimonia and critical apparatus. Many papyri and other manuscript sources have been re-examined and advantage has been taken of modern editions of authors who preserve fragments in quotation. Since its appearance in 1971-2 the work has been widely acknowledged as the standard critical edition of the early Greek iambic poets. A considerable amount of new material has also since then come to light. For this new edition of Vol 2 complementing the second edition of Vol 1 which was published in 1989 Dr West has thoroughly revised and updated all the material. There are some completely new fragments and a great many others appear in a more correct form.
