Working "in the shadow of Eduard Norden" in the author's own words, Nicholas Horsfall has written his own monumental commentary on Aeneid 6. This is Horsfall's fifth large-scale commentary on the Aeneid, and as his earlier commentaries on books 7, 11, 3, and 2, this is not a commentary aimed at undergraduates. Horsfall is a commentators' commentator writing with encyclopedic command of Virgilian scholarship for the most demanding reader. Volume One includes the introduction, text and translation, and bibliography, Volume Two includes the commentary, appendices, and indices.
Rezension:
"This is a work of formidable erudition by a - or the - leading scholar in the field of Virgilian studies, now published in paperback at an outstanding bargain price, on which de Gruyter is to be warmly congratulated."
Colin Leach in: Classics for All, 28.01.2017
