Brill ’s Companion to Nonnus of Panopolis (Brill's Companions to Classical Studies)

Brill's Companion to Nonnus of Panopolis provides a collection of 32 essays by international scholars who explore the work of the most representative poet of Greek Late Antiquity, the author of the 'pagan' Dionysiaca and the 'Christian' Paraphrase of St John's Gospel. Review ''In scope, scale and breath, Accorinti and his team deserve plaudits: the project has more than achieved its aim of providing a wide-ranging reference work for scholars of Nonnus and Late Antiquity. The expertise of the collaborators is apparent at every turn of the page; so too is the enthusiasm. Well presented with very few spelling or typographical errors, it will become an undoubtedly useful handbook for all future readers who come to ask the poet their questions.''
