Sophocles: second thoughts. Hypomnemata ; H. 100. - Minimally rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Minimal berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. It would be pleasant if scholars were always nice about one another, but such a state of affairs would have its bad as well as its good side. Sophocles: second thoughts. Hypomnemata ; H. 100. von Lloyd-Jones, Hugh and Nigel Guy Wilson:Autor(en) Lloyd-Jones, Hugh and Nigel Guy Wilson:Verlag / Jahr Göttingen : Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht, 1997.Format / Einband Original softcover. 146 p.Gewicht ca. 238 gISBN 3525252005EAN 9783525252000Bestell-Nr 1178417Bemerkungen From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimally rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Minimal berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - INTRODUCTION: The Nurse in Euripides’ Hippolytus remarks that second thoughts are somehow best for human beings, and those who like us have published an edition of Sophocles are likely to agree with her. The manuscripts contain a great deal of corruption, as even conservative critics can hardly refuse to admit, and the difficulties of the language are such that even if we possessed a text corrected by the author no living scholar could be confident that he could translate it without error. Although for centuries the text has been studied intensively by many scholars, including some of very great ability, there are still many problems of which more than one solution is possible. Our Oxford Classical Text of Sophocles and its companion volume, Sophoclea, were published in 1990, and have been reviewed in a number of learned periodicals. The study of these reviews has prompted new reflexion, and has aroused a desire to correct errors and to communicate some new suggestions. Some of our reviewers have complained of our occasional sharp criticisms of other scholars. It would be pleasant if scholars were always nice about one another, but such a state of affairs would have its bad as well as its good side. One is often told that Housman and other scholars noted for severe criticism of their colleagues have been neurotics working off their personal repressions, but even if true this would not mean that all severe criticism was discredited. Classical scholarship is closely linked with education, and anyone concerned with education must aim at the elimination of certain common faults. An editor or commentator who buries his head in the sand and ignores the well-established fact that the manuscripts in which classical texts are preserved are often corrupt is failing in his professional duty, even if he can be credited with having collected some useful information. So too, though less culpably, is an editor or commentator who is handicapped by bad taste and defective appreciation of literature, as may be the case even with scholars of admirable energy and ingenuity that entitle them to respect. Against these failings a teacher has a duty to warn his pupils, and a scholar has a duty to warn his readers. We hope that these pages show that we are not unaware of our own shortcomings and are capable of trying to correct them.
