Preface
I would like to thank the following institutions and people for their
various forms of help while I was writing this Companion: to the staff of
the Interlibrary Loan Office at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, who
processed literally hundreds of my requests; to my research assistants,
Matthew Jewell and Michelle Lueders, without whose help I could not
have finished as quickly as I did; to my colleagues in the department of
Classics and Religious Studies at UNL, who did not call me at home while
I was working; and to my editor, Philip Davies, who first invited me to
contribute to this series and then waited patiently until a manuscript
arrived on his desk. This book is dedicated with love to my husband, Dan
D. Crawford, with whom I live in a happy and supportive academic
home. His thoughtful questions, insightful comments, and help with
mathematics have been of immeasurable value in the creation of this work.
