Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Propertius I. This translation follows the Clarendon Press text of 1902 except where a footnote warns the reader of a divergence therefrom. The divergences are of various kinds. In a few passages I have returned to a traditional reading which that text had rejected; in a few others I have adopted a more palaeographically exact reconstitution of the reading where tradition offers a vox nihili which admits more than one possible correction: e.g. at III. xiii. 32, for the vulg. versicoloris, the charming vitricoloris (N. viricoloris) which Prof. Robinson Ellis kindly communicated to me. Sometimes the change is only a reformed punctuation; in one case the probabilities now seem to me to justify the prima-facie immensely improbable hypothesis of transposition; and in about a dozen cases I am now willing to accept the testimony of inferior manuscript witnesses against N. But much the largest category of innovation consists of conjectures admitted to the text. And here, if consistency be a thing worthy of vindication, I have to offer a few words of defence. I was guided in 1902 by a rigorous fidelity to the principles laid down for the Oxford Series of Classical Texts.
