Synopsis

A new edition of the Aeneid requires not only a systematic and reliable assessment of the text, but also a satisfactory and, if possible, complete description of the manuscripts transmission.Here, not only were the seven Late Antique codices studied anew, but the recensio was also extended by drawing on sources from the Carolingian Age only some of which were incorporated by earlier editors. To this end eight tesimonies which had never been studied previously were collated. As a result the reader has access to an apparatus criticus which is mainly dedicated to textual matters. "

About this title

Review:

"The publication ofa new Teubner edition of the Aeneid is a noteworthy philological event[...]."
Luis Rivero Garcia in: Latomus 3/2011

"In sum, this is a major new text of the Aeneid which all serious Vergilian scholars will need to consult."
Stephen J. Harrison in: Gnomon 4/2011

"C.'s Aeneid is a major work of scholarship that demonstrates at each turn impressive editorial tact and a rarely refined sense of the Virgilian. The edition deserves strong commendation."
David Butterfield in: Exemplaria Classica15 (2011)
