An exhaustive study of Claudian's unfinished mythological epic,
with a text, apparatus criticus, and commentary. The long
introduction begins with a catalogue of manuscripts; and this leads
to an investigation into the manuscript tradition and the history
of the poem's transmission. Dr Hall then surveys the most important
printed editions of the poem. He examines various theories of
dating and discusses the sources of the story. He concludes the
introduction with a brief critical assessment of the form and style
of the poem. Dr Hall establishes his text after an examination of
all the extant manuscripts. The apparatus, though very full, is
selective in that it records readings of younger manuscripts only
when they offer something new. It also ignores trifling
corruptions. The commentary is similarly selective. In general, it
discusses everything relevant to the establishing of the text and
ignores points of purely mythological and literary interest.
