2017. – pp. XII+148, pls 26. – ISSN 2035-3634, ISBN 978-88-7689-301-8 This new book about Praxiteles has been published in March 2017. This short book devoted to the most important Athenian sculptor of late classical times is composed of an introduction (pp. XI–XII), a first chapter about the life of the artist (pp. 3–5), a second chapter about the works of Praxiteles (pp. 9–14), a third chapter about original works and copies attributed to this master (pp. 17–39), a fourth chapter about his own style (pp. 43–49), and finally a fifth chapter about written testimonia. The last chapter is followed by endnotes (pp. 115–123), references (pp. 125–140), indexes (pp. 141–148), and 26 plates. In the introduction (p. XI) the author condemns the ‘strada avventurosa, favorita da alcune ricorrenze epigrafiche e soprattutto dall’elenco disposto da Plinio il Vecchio di opere connesse con il nome di Prassitele, che hanno portato a proporre una ricostruzione ipertrofica dell’attivita’ dello scultore e bronzista del IV secolo’. The author clarifies that in note 4 he refers to my five books about the art of Praxiteles.1 I wish to stress that in these books I supported all of my statements with an immense body of evidence, both visual and written (from inscriptions, papyri and literary sources). Whoever wishes to object my reasoning and conclusions must specify it with a detailed analysis why these materials do not lead to the conclusions asserted by me. Dismissing my oeuvre without giving any reason is not allowed by any good scientific methodology, and foreshadows the methodological weakness that characterizes this essay. The importance of my huge research about Praxiteles in the international scientific community is proved by the many awards lavished on me for my work (fellowships of the Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene, the German Archaeological Institute, the British Academy, the Onassis Foundation, the Institute for Advanced Study of Budapest, the 1984 Foundation of Philadelphia, the Leventis and Hellenic Foundations, the 7 Pillars of Wisdom Trust, the Lord Marks Charitable Trust, the State Scholarships Foundation of Greece, the Ministry of National Education of Greece, the Kostopoulos Foundation, etc.), by lectures and papers delivered in important academic centers such as Cambridge, the British Museum, the Institute of Classical Studies of London, the universities of Aix-en-Provence, Cologne, Berlin, Sankt Petersburg, Moscow, the Hermitage, as well as all the most important academic institutions of Greece. Moreover, my books and articles about Praxiteles have been cited by many scholars everywhere in the world, from the United States to Russia, and from Scandinavia to Greece. DISCUSSIO
