书籍介绍

一个关于西方文化的历史的显著事实，我们仍然能够阅读大量希腊和罗马古典所产生的文学内容，尽管至少有一半的副本受到了火灾、洪水和战争的危害。这本书解释了这些文本是如何保存下来的，并解释了为什么值得花必要的努力为后代保存它们的原因。

在第二版中包括了注释的一部分，并增加了一个新的章节来处理文艺复兴以来的学术的一些方面。在第三版(1991年)中，作者通过大幅度修改或扩大某些章节，回应了在这一快速发展的知识领域中考虑到大量发现的迫切需要。在过去的二十年里，我们看到了进一步的进步，而这个修订版的设计也考虑到了这些。

One of the remarkable facts about the history of Western culture is that we are still in a position to read large amounts of the literature produced in classical Greece and Rome despite the fact that for at least a millennium and a half all copies had to be produced by hand and were subject to the hazards of fire, flood, and war. This book explains how the texts survived and gives an account of the reasons why it was thought worthwhile to spend the necessary effort to preserve them for future generations.

In the second edition a section of notes was included, and a new chapter was added to deal with some aspects of scholarship since the Renaissance. In the third edition (1991), the authors responded to the urgent need to take account of the very large number of discoveries in this rapidly advancing field of knowledge by substantially revising or enlarging certain sections. The last two decades have seen further advances, and this revised edition is designed to take account of them.
