Ronchey, S. “An Introduction to Eustathios's Exegesis in Canonem Iambicum.” Dumbarton Oaks Papers 45 (1991): 149-58.

The essay surveys the first ten years of research conducted by the author on Eustathios of Thessalonike’s Exegesis in canonem iambicum, providing a concise evaluation in English for use by the international scholarly community.  Two themes in particular are developed: the constitutio textus of Eustathios’ Exegesis and the complex historical and philological analysis of the work. The description of manuscript sources and the reconstruction of their genealogical connections translate into a graphic stemma codicum.  Investigation into the aims and content of the Exegesis brings to the fore both the problematic identity of the true author of the iambic canon – John Arklas – and the complex erudition Eustathios demonstrates in his work, densely permeated with classical (Homer, Pindar, Euripides, Sophocles, Theocritus), biblical, and patristic echoes, but also references to Byzantine cultural controversies and intellectual personalities contemporary to or slightly pre-dating him.
