Product Information
Stephen V. Tracy offers a detailed study of all available Attic inscriptions for the last real period of Athenian independence. Inscriptions comprise a major primary source for this period. Tracy has arranged them by individual letter-cutter and provides photographs of all hands catalogued. In presenting the dossiers of the cutters, he offers many new readings, redatings, and interpretations. A number of fragments from the Athenian Agora are here presented for the first time. Attic Letter-Cutters will serve as a sourcebook for the inscriptions of 229 to 86 B.C. It will be important for the evidence it offers on the dating of the texts and will provide a guide for others dealing with late Hellenistic Attic inscriptions.Product Identifiers
