A. E. Housman's five-volume critical edition of Marcus Manilius's
Astronomicon has long been regarded as the definitive work on the
subject. The task of bringing the edition together was one of
considerable proportion which took Housman twenty-seven years to
complete. It is now considered one of his most enduring and
important contributions to scholarship. This volume contains the
Latin text of the first book of Manilius, originally published in
1903, and then reissued in a second edition by the Cambridge
University Press in 1937. It offers a short introductory note by
Housman's friend and colleague at Trinity College, Cambridge, A. S.
F. Gow, as well as a detailed introduction by Housman himself,
tracing the manuscript history of the work and discussing
particular challenges posed by the editorial process.
