brilliant new book ... Cameron surveys the whole history ... [and] brings to it new finds, new research and a systematic rigour rarely seen before ... Large parts of Cameron's book consist of detailed analysis, crisply and lucidly set out ... But there is much more here than textual genealogy ... Even by Alan Cameron's standards, this is a tour de force of plenary learning and incisive intelligence.
