      This text offers a detailed discussion of Callimachus' collection of "Iambi". The chapters on individual poems set out the evidence for the text; address questions of linguistic and antiquarian detail; attempt an interpretation of each poem as a whole; and consider the arrangement of the poems, and the composition of the book. The author argues that the collection consisted of 13 pieces; that the arrangement of the collection goes back to the poet himself, and that the "Iambi" are one of the earliest survivng poetry books. An attempt is made to relate this new form of poetic composition to the influence of scholarly interests and techniques on Hellenistic poetry in general, and on Callimachus in particular. The thesis includes a list of the papyri of the "Iambi", and a list of readings, supplements, conjectures, and other differences from Pfeiffer's text.
