This edition of the Servian commentaries on Aeneid 9-12 was
originally conceived as the final volume of the so-called "Harvard
Servius", begun by Edward Kennard Rand and his students at Harvard
in the 1920s. Nearly a century farther on, the projects
vicissitudes are too well known and too complex to bear repeating
here: it is enough to say that this is the first new volume of the
commentary to appear in over fifty years. On his death in 2013
Charles E. Murgia left publishable versions of the text, upper and
lower critical apparatuses, and large parts of the introduction,
and he had gather most of the data for the testimonial apparatus.
Robert A. Kaster completed the work on the testimonia and
introduction (using some of Murgia's unpublished writings to
supplement the latter), added some subsidiary elements, and
prepared the whole for publication. Thanks primarily to the work of
Charles Murgia, this edition is superior to its predecessors in the
same series, and to all other editions of Servius, in every
respect.
