Aeneid Book 1. Editor: R.T. Ganiban. - VERGIL, (VERGILIUS),

KORTE INHOUD

The volume is part of a welcome series of new commentaries on individual books of Vergil?s Aeneid for undergraduate students at an intermediate level. (...) The volume contains a brief Preface; a rich Introduction, both on Vergil and on Aeneid I; the Latin text with a commentary in a smaller font on the same page; two Appendixes, one on Vergil?s hexameter (...) the other on the stylistic terms selected by the editor and marked throughout the commentary by an asterisk (...). The main aim is to help students of varying backgrounds to translate, but also to understand and, possibly, to appreciate the Vergilian text. (...) In the commentary Ganiban discusses exegetical, grammatical, stylistic, historical and literary questions; usually he provides accurate and complete information; the selection is intelligent and useful. (...) In any case, it is a valuable addition to the existing corpus of commentaries on Aeneid I.' (MASSIMO GIOSEFFI in BMCR 2011.03.29).
