p. 2: On the theoretical reasons for studying the history of classical scholarship see further C. Robert Phillips III, ‘Classical Scholarship against its History’, AJP vol. 110, n. 4 (Winter 1989), pp. 636-657 esp. pp. 637-639, and pp. 656-657: ‘...we should engage in dialogue with our predecessors – not to disprove them (a vain epistemological endeavor) and consequently to buttress our own claims, but rather to begin to think philosophically about the meaning of classical scholarship, ours and theirs. Only in that way can we understand ourselves, our subjectivity, and thus classical antiquity.’
