Silvia Castelli Passes Her Viva on Wettstein

5
A hearty congratulations to Silvia Castelli who has just defended her doctoral dissertation on the subject of J. J. Wettstein (see here). I have read a bit of it privately and what I read was excellent (and well formatted too). I do hope it gets published. For now we extend a hearty congrats to her!

P.S. I am happy to announce the passing of TC-related thesis defenses on this space. Please let me know.

  2. Even the reading of the abstract and the table of contents is a pleasure.

  3. The opening chapters are the best summary of "textual criticism" history from the 1500s to the 1700s that I have seen anywhere. . Thanks!

    Any additional resources along that line are appreciated.

      I’d like to read what she says.Did you have to purchase the book, which appears to cost 149 euros; or did you find another source?
