Review of Imhausen and Pommerening (eds.), Translating Writings of Early Scholars in the Ancient Near East ...

BRYN MAYR CLASSICAL REVIEW: Annette Imhausen, Tanja Pommerening (ed.), Translating Writings of Early Scholars in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome: Methodological Aspects with Examples. Beiträge zur Altertumskunde, 344​. Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter, 2016. Pp. x, 611. ISBN 9783110447040. $168.00. Reviewed by Jan P. Stronk, Universiteit van Amsterdam (j.p.stronk@uva.nl).

In summary, Imhausen and Pommerening and the other contributing authors (in collaboration with the series-editors and De Gruyter, I presume) have created a book that deserves to be on the desk of anyone working in the field of translating ancient texts—not merely texts on astronomy/astrology, arithmetic, or medicine.
