Patronus und Orator. Eine Geschichte der Begriffe von ihren Anfängen bis in die augusteische Zeit

„This book has many virtues, not least that it is extremely clearly planned and easy to read, written in a style that bears its scholarship lightly. We are not overwhelmed with technical linguistics nor historical minutiae; yet it contains the careful, scholarly examination of myriad uses of common words. – In general the book is a testament to the rich reward of careful and intelligent study of single, well-chosen words or phrases.“ (Classical Philology 56, 1961, S. 208)
