David M. Schaps is Professor of Classics at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

"This book is a magisterial and pioneering treatment of a subject of seminal importance. Schaps's erudition is impressive—but leavened by a pleasant style and tone. In my opinion, the volume will generate interest among a wide audience, and should stimulate (and expedite) further research among specialists."—Edward Cohen, University of Pennsylvania
