Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in the Sources of the Messeniaca of Pausanias: A Dissertation Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Hoping still to throw some light on the style Of the fourth book, which would enable me to mark Off the different parts of it, I examined the style of Pausanias more generally. This only proved to me that Pausanias has a style of his own, such as it is, which seems to be characterized nowhere so well as in Gurlitt, U ber Pau sauias, 1890, p. 15 sqq. This view is supported by the fact that the multitude and variety Of the sources which Pausanias used, made it necessary for him to resist at least a literal transfer.
