Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ancient Lives of Vergil: With an Essay on the Poems of Vergil in Connection With His Life and Times The following essay is based upon two public lectures delivered in the hall of Corpus Christi College in the October Term of 1878. In illustration of it I have thought it advisable to print four ancient lives of Vergil, those namely which bear the names of Probus, Donatus, and Servius, with one taken from two Berne Mss. assigned (at the latest) to the tenth century. This Life is printed by Reifferscheid in his Suetoni Tranqnilli praeter Caesarnm libros reliquiae, and by Hagen in his edition of the Berne scholia on the Eclogues and Bucolics (Jahrbiicher fiir Classische Philologie, Suppl. Band iv. Heft 5). I have printed the memoir attributed to Probus nearly as it is edited by Keil on the basis of two fifteenth-century Mss. and the editio princess of Probus´ commentary on Vergil, adding a few notes where comment appeared necessary. The Life attributed to Donatus exists, as is well known, in an interpolated and an uninterpolated form. The interpolated version, containing a mass of apocryphal matter which must have gathered shape in the course of centuries, is now generally acknowledged to have assumed its present form before the invention of printing. The vulgate as printed by Reifferscheid, mainly from the Venice edition of 1558, exhibits differences from the earlier recension which in Hagen´s opinion are due to the first printer of the work (Jahrbiicher, &c. p. 680). The text of the uninterpolated memoir was based by Daniel, and recently by Reifferscheid, on a Berne Ms. of the tenth century(B 172).But Hagen has brought to light a far superior recension, that of a St. Gallen Ms., also of the tenth century (G), which he has rightly taken as the foundation of his text.
