Together with "Critical Notes on Virgil" (De Gruyter 2016), this
volume offers an enlightening complement to the critical text of
the Georgics and the Aeneid recently published in the Bibliotheca
Teubneriana. In "Virgilian Parerga: Textual Criticism and Stylistic
Analysis" can be seen the progress owed to the insight of four of
the finest scholars of the past (Heinsius, Heyne, Ribbeck and
Sabbadini). The first chapters trace the steps of the arduous path
that from the middle of the 17th century on led these outstanding
erudites to free themselves from the uulgata and compose a new
critical text for the works of Virgil. The later chapters tackle
important questions of textual criticism and Virgilian style, and
propose new answers to inveterate exegetic problems. The volume
ends with an interesting theoretical discussion on the
methodological principles that combine the rules of philology with
those of law. Here the author questions the logical assumptions
that dominate not only the philological process but also the
judicial one.
