This volume investigates the complex manuscript traditions and transmission history of the Latin texts of Quintus Curtius Rufus and Dictys Cretensis. S. P. Oakley, a scholar of classical philology, employs rigorous codicological and paleographical analysis to reconstruct the lineage of these texts. By examining extant manuscripts, incunabular editions, and medieval citations, the author establishes a framework for understanding how these works were preserved and altered throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
