[EAN: 9780198140313], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Oxford : Clarendon Press], Jacket, XXXIV, 244 p., ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Partly bleached and rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. Includes texts about the editor. / Teils verblichener und beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. Beiliegend Texte zum Herausgeber. - The fourth book of Statius’ Silvae, containing a preface and nine poems, was published in AD 95. The occasions celebrated range from the building of a road to the gift-giving festival of the Saturnalia, and the book is of particular interest because it was published in defiance of criticism of the first three books and because it contains a cycle of three poems in honour of the emperor Domitian, a higher proportion than in any other book of the Silvae. This edition contains the first commentary on Book IV since Vollmer’s edition of the Silvae in 1898. The introduction discusses Statius’ career, the chronology and arrangement of the poems in Book IV, the title Silvae, the nature of the collection, the authenticity of the tituli affixed to the individual poems, and the textual tradition. A new text with full apparatus criticus is supplied, and a prose translation. The commentary covers textual, linguistic, literary, and historical questions, and for each poem there is an introductory note dealing with the genre, the occasion, and (where applicable) the prosopography of the addressee. - Kathleen Coleman is Lecturer in Classics at the University of Cape Town.
