A systematic and chronoloical investigation into the nature and
development of end-titles in papyrus rolls and codices of hexameter
poetry from the III century BC through the VI century AD. The bulk
of the evidence for presentation of hexametric verse derives from
Homeric papyri (51 papyrus copies), although Hesiod's Theogony,
Works & Days, and Shield (two), and Oppian's Halieutica
likewise supply data (one). For comparative purposes the author
also provides a sampling of end-titles in non-epic genres. The
discussion of individual papyri and summation of the results are
rich and informative. Includes bibliographical references, charts
with comparative statistics, and pertinent indices.
