Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Letters of Pliny: With Introduction and Notes There are already before the public so many editions of Selections from Pliny´s Letters that I should not have ventured, without the invitation of the general editors of this series, to put forth another. Compliance with their request, however, has been a labor of love, and I trust it may prove not altogether labor lost. The publication of the whole of the Letters, with an adequate commentary in English, has for some time seemed to me a very desirable work, - a work which I should like in future to attempt, should it not meantime be undertaken by one better qualified for the task. Such an edition should be based upon a new reading of the manuscripts, as is conspicuously shown by a comparison of Keil´s edition with Professor Merrill´s collation of the Codex Riccardianus in the American Journal of Philology, for December, 1895. My obligations, in the preparation of my Introduction and Notes, have been chiefly to Mommsen´s important article on the Younger Pliny, in Hermes, III.; to Kraut´s and Lagergren´s dissertations on the language and style of Pliny; and in a more general sense to the various editors cited in the list on page xli of the Introduction and the Abbreviations on page 128. Indebtedness in detail I have been careful to acknowledge specifically. The text is that of Keil, with a few changes.
