Aeneis
Description
A new edition of the Aeneid requires not only a systematic and reliable assessment of the text, but also a satisfactory and complete description of the manuscripts' transmission. Here, the seven Late Antique codices were studied anew; the recensio also draws on sources from the Carolingian Age. To this end eight Carolingian testimonies never studied before were collated. The editio altera contains several corrections and additional conjectures.

"Conte provides a new criterion for Virgilian studies with this publication. Its value and survival will depend entirely on the continuance of pure philological study at the highest levels. A useful Index Nominum concludes the volume." Darrell Sutton in: The Quarterly Review, http://www.quarterly-review.org/virgils-aeneid/ .More details
