The Story of Apollonius, King of Tyre

A Study Of Its Greek Origin And An Edition Of The Two Oldest Latin Recensions

The author, who is a specialist on the problems around The Story of Apollonius, King of Tyre, makes a pioneer attempt to tackle the question of its origin (Latin or Greek?) systematically. He concludes that a longer Greek original is probable, and that it can be localised in Asia Minor, perhaps in Tarsus. An edition of the major Latin recensions rounds off his study.
