Orationes

The third of four volumes intended to replace the previous OCT of the great Athenian orator Demosthenes (fourth century BC); it is based on fresh and thorough study of the latest evidence, including previously neglected or unavailable material from Greek manuscripts and recently published papyri. This new edition corrects shortcomings of earlier editors by providing a text which incorporates neglected or unavailable material from Greek manuscripts, recently published papyri, and quotations from the orations by rhetoricians dating from antiquity through to the Byzantine period. All this information is presented in notes in Greek and Latin, which will not only allow convenient access to evidence for the text but will also provide references to ancient and medieval interpretations of the orations.
