Critica Textual Issues In Horace, Ennius, Vergil And Other Authors

Gathering together over 60 new and revised discussions of textual issues, this volume represents notorious problems in well-known texts from the classical era by authors including Horace, Ennius, and Vergil.

A follow-up to Vegiliana: Critical Studies on the Texts of Publius Vergilius Maro (2017), the volume includes major contributions to the discussion of Horaceâs Carmen IV 8 and IV 12, along with studies on Catullus Carmen 67 and Hadrianâs Animula vagula, as well as a new contribution on Livyâs text at IV 20 in connection with Cossusâs spolia opima, and on Vergilâs Aeneid 3. 147â152 and 11. 151â153. On Ennius, the author presents several new ideas on Ann. 42 Sk. and 220â22l, and in editing Horace, he suggests new principles for the critical apparatus and tries to find a balance by weighing both sides in several studies, comparing a conservative and a radical approach.

Critica will be an important resource for students and scholars of Latin language and literature.
