Landmark Features
All Landmark editions begin with an informative Introduction
written by a qualified scholar that discusses what is known about the
ancient author’s life, his methods, and relevant facts about his world.
They also contain a number of explanatory Appendices on various
topics by a number of scholars. It is hoped that these will provide a
sufficient minimum of explanatory and/or background information to
help a general reader better understand and relate to the text.
Relevant paragraphs in the introduction and the individual
appendices are cited by footnote throughout the text, so that the
readers will know where to look for explanation or further
information. A glance at the Contents page will show how many
topics were deemed necessary for such elaboration.
