Indices in Eustathii Commentarios ad Homeri Iliadem pertinentes ad fidem codicis Laurentiani editos a M. van der Valk: J.M. Bremer et C.J. Ruijgh consiliantibus

This work is intended to be of use as an index volume to Eustathius’s commentary (12th century) on Homer’s Iliad in the four-volume edition (1971-1987) by M. van der Valk. The text is divided into four indexes: the first lists proper names (names from dialects have been listed again in an appendix); the second consists of Greek words discussed by Eustathius, spanning the period from Homeric until Byzantine times; the third index comprises Eustathius’ own vocabulary, both technical (grammatical, rhetorical, metrical) and non-technical (post-classical, Byzantine), with an appendix of entries which in particular reveal Eustathius’s appreciation of Homer as rhetorician, storyteller and teacher; and the last index contains the sources which were used by Eustathius or which offer parallels to his remarks.
