Description
The Roman poet Statius' 4th book of "Silvae", published in AD 95, follows its preface with nine poems celebrating occasions from the building of a road to the gift-giving Saturnalian festival. This edition provides the first commentary since Vollmer's of 1898, and covers textual, linguistic, literary and historical questions. The introduction covers Statius' career, the book's chronology and its textual tradition, and the book contains new text, full critical apparatus and facing prose English translation.
