Review of the hardback: 'Huffman's book offers expert discussion of a variety of difficult topics ... a much needed and authoritative commentary ... Lucid argued, helpfully organised, and impressive in its scholarship, this book sets a high standard indeed ... a rich volume of over 600 pages ... there is much of real value here ... a detailed and scholarly treatment of dauntingly difficulty material. Scholars owe Huffman a debt for undertaking this task, and executing it with such authority. It is a work to emulate'. Sylvia Berryman, The University of British Columbia Review of the hardback: 'We have here another blockbuster offering from Carl Huffman who has already put us in his debt by a definite study of Philolaus. This work will serve in turn to establish Archytas as a philosopher in his own right, and not simply a footnote to Pythagoras, as has all too often been the case hitherto.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
