What is The Pupula Duplex and Other Tokens of an "Evil Eye" in the Light of Ophthalmology about?
Kirby Flower Smith published an article on the pupula duplex which exhibits that combination of acumen, erudition, and literary skill which we have learned to expect from his pen. Since the superstition of the evil eye is perhaps second to none in importance, not only to classical scholars but to many workers in modern fields of study, the problems he attacked deserved its lengthy treatment, and if he failed to solve them other attempts are highly desirable. Commenting upon Ovid Amores i. 8. 15-16: oculis quoque pupula duplex fulminât et gemino lumen ab orbe venit, \* Originally printed in Classical Philology, vol. 13 (October 1918). (Editorial note: The oldest living graduate of Harvard University, Dr. McDaniel is professor emeritus of the University of Pennsylvania. He reached the age of 100 on March 4, 1971, and continues to write delightful prose. This is one of several of his essays that we have republished. Numerous notes of the original paper have been omitted with the consent of the author. The postscript by Dr. Albert M. Potts appears by invitation.)
