Of the histories of ancient skepticism the most highly

and M. Dal Pra, Lo scetticismo greco (Milan, 1950). Three

The Greek Sceptics (New York and London, 1929); and
C. L. Stough, Greek Skepticism: A Study in Epistemology
(Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1969). For further items consult
the bibliographies in Robin and Dal Pra.
