An Enquiry into the Transmission of the Plays of Euripides

Originally published in 1965, this book is concerned with the process through which the plays of Euripides were transmitted across seventeen centuries and finally copied into late Byzantine manuscripts. Based upon earlier observations made by Alexander Turyn in The Byzantine Manuscript Tradition of the Tragedies of Euripides, the text contains rigorous analysis of the Euripidean manuscripts together with images from them. This is a highly informative book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Euripides and manuscript history.
