Description
Furthering his approach to classifying and interpreting epigraphical data in his earlier work, the author here studies the inscriptions from the time of Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Demosthenes and Demetrios. He shows how the "handwriting" of individual stonecutters can be identified. Detailed study of the hands in this largest group of primary documents has enabled the author to offer a number of insights, such as reassessing the career of Demetrios of Phaleron and taking issue with the commonly accepted view that Athenian democracy ended in 322 BC with the defeat by the Macdeonians at Krannon.
