Henry Nettleship (1839 1893), Professor of Latin at Oxford,
published his work on Latin lexicography in 1889. The volume had
originally been planned as a complete Latin lexicon; however, after
almost twelve years (during which Lewis and Short's Latin
Dictionary was published in 1879) of labour on the letter A, the
size of the endeavour became apparent and the shape of the work was
revised, becoming a detailed lexicon of the letter A, which
amounted to two-thirds of the work, with shorter lexicographical
notes on the other letters up to U. For the words he covered, many
of Nettleship's entries are more detailed and specialised than
Lewis and Short's, and there is a far greater emphasis placed on
early Roman literature and Latin glossaries in the notes on
etymology and usage. The critical thoroughness of the work has
ensured its continued use by Latin scholars and lexicographers.
The celebrated classical scholar and lexicographer Henry Nettleship
(1839 1893) published this volume in 1885 while he was Professor of
Latin at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The volume is a revised
collection of his published articles up to 1884 on the topic of
Latin literature, along with a number of his unpublished lectures
given in Oxford between 1884 and 1878. The volume includes an essay
on the German philologist Moritz Haupt (1808 1874); early Italian
civilization and literature; the Latin authors Cicero, Catullus,
Virgil, and Horace; the Latin grammarians Nonius Marcellus, Verrius
Flaccus and Aulus Gellius; and reviews of text-critical editions of
Latin works such as Georg Thilo's edition of Servius Maurus
Honoratus' complete works (1878 1902). This collection of essays
and lectures is a valuable source for the theories and ideas of a
nineteenth-century Latinist who continues to influence Latin
scholarship.
Lectures and Essays, edited by F. Haverfield, was first published
in 1895. It contains the published articles of Henry Nettleship
(1839 1893) on Latin literature not included in the collection
Lectures and Essays on Subjects Connected with Latin Literature and
Scholarship (1885), along with one unpublished essay. The volume
begins with a memoir written by Nettleship's wife, focusing on his
progressive approach towards educational reform and modernisation.
The collection includes essays on contemporary scholars such as the
Danish philologist Madvig (1804 1886); the poet Juvenal; the
earliest Latin grammarians; literary criticism in antiquity; and on
the state of English education in the nineteenth century, including
the influential essay 'On the Present Relations between Classical
Research and Classical Education in England'. This collection of
lectures and essays is a valuable source representing the work of
an eminent Victorian scholar and educational reformer who made a
lasting contribution to Latin studies.
Published in 1891, this revised edition of Oskar Seyffert's
Dictionary provides comprehensive coverage of Greek and Roman
antiquities, and extends its range to incorporate the areas of
mythology and literature. From Abacus to Zosimus, over 2,500
articles cover topics including the lives and work of Greek and
Roman philosophers, historians, orators, poets and artists, and
related subjects including Greek and Roman religion, philosophy,
rhetoric, literature, architecture, painting, sculpture, music and
drama. A landmark publication in its time, it is still regarded as
factually reliable, and although there have been considerable
advances in the interpretation of the data it is valuable as a
benchmark for the state of classical scholarship in the late
nineteenth century. Enhanced by over 450 illustrations, the volume
gives the Latin equivalent for every Greek word, and contains a
thorough index.

First published between 1858 and 1871, John Conington's lucid
exposition of the complete works of Virgil continues to set the
standard for commentary on the Virgilian corpus. After decades out
of print, this three-volume edition is once again available to
readers, allowing Conington's subtle investigations of language,
context, and intellectual background to find a fresh audience. This
final volume (1871), published posthumously and completed with the
assistance of Henry Nettleship, features Books VII-XII of the
Aeneid. Detailed, informative notes situate the individual work
within the larger field of Greek and Latin epic poetry. Still a
major scholarly contribution over a century and a half after its
initial publication, Conington's Works of Virgil is fine testament
to one of Victorian England's most talented readers of classical
Latin, a philologist whose gifts, Nettleship notes, 'were of a
single and representative order ... unlikely to be replaced'.
