• In his review of Rabe's edition of the Prolegomena, Denniston wrote: «These Introductions are, for the most part, a dreary waste of pedantry and triviality, where one laments alternately that Aristotle, or Isocrates, was ever born» (CR 46 1932 p. 86). Again, in his review of Rabe's edition of Aphthonios, Bury stated that «these 'preliminary exercises' themselves are of no great interest» (CR 41 1927 p. 150). How times have changed! Fortunately, one might add. In recent decades scholars such as Michel Patillon have shown us how much there is of interest in treatises such as these. Although I have raised some minor criticisms above, I can only conclude as I began by acknowledging Patillon's work for what it is: a genuine piece of first-rate scholarship that inspires gratitude for work well done and best wishes for the successful completion of the entire editorial project.
