Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. 21: 1910 In this article, which is a continuation of studies undertaken during my preparation of a new translation of Vitruvius, I have endeavored, as heretofore, to understand him as we find him in the best manuscripts without having recourse to conjectural emendation, - a device which seems to me particularly out of place in the case of a document like the De Architectura, unique in its kind and therefore the more precious. I would not defend and trust that I never have defended monstrosities, whether of language or of syntax, but I confess that I am often readier to admit my own inability to understand the manuscript tradition than to distrust it. For on the whole it appears to be remarkably good, when we consider the unusual difficulties and peculiarities with which the mediaeval scribe had to contend. As for our author himself, his good faith is, I trust, no longer open to question, and I believe that he might truly have said with Condivi, the biographer of Michael Angelo: ´E se punto laude me ne viene, mi contento che sia, non di buono scrittore, ma di raccoglitor di queste cose diligente e fidele, affermando d´ haverle raccolte sinceramente, d´ haverle cavate con destrezza e con lunga pazienzia dal vivo oraculo suo: e ultimanente, d´ haverle scontrate e confermate col testimonio de´ scritti, e d´ huomini degni di fede.´ 2, praef. 3 (32, 8): animadverto si qui deduxerit eo loci coloniam fore ut indicium eius vituperetur. Here fore, the reading of codd. E G S², is followed by the editors, while H and S have forte. Perhaps Vitruvius wrote si qui forte deduxerit and the scribe of the archetype of our manuscript having accidentally omitted forte, added it in his margin.
