This volume contains a new critical edition of the poem extensively exploiting the ancient Syriac and Armenian translations, as well as a full commentary and a thorough introduction dealing, among other, with the deep relations between this enigmatic text and late imperial-age poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46896631120023,"sku":"9783598778223","price":21984.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783598778223.webp?v=1770359335","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/carmen-choliambicum-quod-apud-ps-callisthenis-historiam-alexandri-reperitur-9783598778223","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
