"A peculiar anthologic maze, an amusing literary chaos, a farrago of quotations, a mere olla podrida of quaintness, a pot pourri of pleasant delites, a florilegium of elegant extracts, a tangled fardel of old-world flowers of thought, a faggot of odd fancies, quips, facetiae, loosely tied" (Holbrook Jackson, Anatomy of Bibliomania) by a "laudator temporis acti," a "praiser of time past" (Horace, Ars Poetica 173).

What is Wrong with This Title Page?
Wilmer Cave Wright (1868-1951) translated late Greek texts (Julian, Philostratus, Eunapius) for the Loeb Classical Library. She did not translate Seneca the Elder. Michael Winterbottom (1934-) did. My copy (a gift from a friend) was "First published 1974 / Reprinted 2003".
