"What we have here can almost be considered an editio princeps ... A whole new world of literary criticism is being opened up by Janko and, in time, the entire Philodemus project. Their introductions will be mined by all subsequent students of literary criticism itself and of Augustan poetry in general. Their recalcitrant texts will be consulted less often, but without the years of toil that allowed for these editions, Philodemus' contribution to the history of criticism would remain unapproeciated by all but a few classicists." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
