Editorial Reviews

The best translation of these two treatises available in any language: accurate, lively, and readable. —Peter King, The Ohio State University

This volume is excellent. The introduction presents the readings in a clear manner, one that is direct and comprehensible. Similarly, the translation is highly readable. The notes are helpful without being intrusive. In short, this is a volume I have enjoyed using with graduate students and will certainly plan to use with undergraduates. —Charles E. Butterworth, University of Maryland at College Park
