Publisher's Synopsis
""A Dissertation Upon The Epistles of Phalaris"" is a scholarly work by Richard Bentley, published in 1699. The book is a critical analysis of the authenticity of the letters attributed to the ancient Greek tyrant, Phalaris.

He provides detailed linguistic and historical evidence to support his argument.The second part of the book is an answer to the objections raised by Charles Boyle, a contemporary of Bentley who had defended the authenticity of the letters. Bentley refutes Boyle's arguments and provides further evidence to support his own position.Overall, ""A Dissertation Upon The Epistles of Phalaris"" is an important work in the field of classical scholarship and has had a lasting impact on the study of ancient Greek literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
