This authoritative new edition of the ancient scholia to Sophocles'
Trachiniae is designed to replace the corresponding part of the
Teubner text published in 1888. It is the first to rely on a
complete scrutiny of the sources of the text and the conjectural
activity of scholars, but is also characterised by a fresh
methodological approach: the transmission of scholia is prone to
creating different versions of basically the same material, and to
making conflations of originally distinct entities; in the English
preface these transmissional peculiarities guide the editor in
establishing a methodology which is appropriate both for analysing
the manuscript tradition and composing the critical text of the
Trachiniae scholia. By applying this working tool, the editor is
the first to restore the scholia to the Trachiniae in a textual
state which is arguably the earliest we can recover, and is free of
contradictions, unacceptable repetitions, and hybridisation or
blending of elements from different versions. The critical text is
accompanied by a detailed apparatus criticus, and is contextualised
in its scholarly tradition by means of a rich collection of
parallel passages. Extensive indices are provided at the end of the
book.
