Francesco Montone reviews Judith Hindermann’s commentary of Book 2 of the Correspondence (Sidonius Apollinaris’ Letters, book 2: text, translation and commentary. Edinburgh studies in later Latin literature. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2022) in BMCR 2023.11.28.
‘Il lavoro realizzato dalla studiosa è di certo apprezzabile […] per la chiarezza espositiva e per l’acribia dimostrata nella stesura dell’ampio commento.’
‘La traduzione proposta è precisa, molto aderente al testo ed attenta a cogliere le arguzie della dictio sidoniana. ‘
‘In definitiva il pregevole volume sarà di grande utilità per i cultori di cultura antica.’
Willum Westenholz has reviewed Judith Hindermann’s commentary on Letters Book 2 in Plekos 21.06.2023.
‘… an excellent resource for undergraduates and newcomers to Sidonius, but is has less to offer to the specialist.’
