Excerpt from The Athenian Family: A Sociological and Legal Study
Of the authors named in the bibliography, the writer is especially indebted to Perrot, Jebb, Becker, Meier & Schomann, Mahaffy, Jones (Sir William), and Wyse. It was Perrot's charming and sympathetic work, L'Eloquence Politique et Judiciaire a Athenes, which first awakened the writer's interest in Athenian ancestor worship and inheritance law; and Jebb, especially in his Attic Orators, and in the introduction and notes of his beautiful edition of Sophocles' Antigone, has at all times been exceedingly helpful and stimulating. Too much cannot be said in praise of the learned work of Becker, whose Charicles has of course become a household word with students of Greek everywhere. No person interested in Greek private life can afford to be without this valuable book, which has been constantly consulted by the writer at many stages of his work. Of the scholarly and exhaustive treatise of Meier & Schomann little need be said; this standard work is of course invaluable for all who are in any way interested in Athenian public or private law. The learned works of Blass, Schomann, and Hermann, and Moy's charming treatise on Isaeus, are too well known and too highly regarded to need commendation; the writer has found them exceedingly valuable. To Mahaffy's delightful and suggestive works, Social Life in Greece and Greek Life and Thought, the writer cheerfully acknowledges his obligation; he also takes this opportunity to express his indebtedness to the admirable work of Sir William Jones, that pioneer in Isaean study. And finally, Wyse's commentary on Isaeus has been of very great assistance to the writer. This edition of Isaeus is a learned and comprehensive work, and one which may perhaps be said to mark an epoch in Isaean study.
