English Classical Scholarship: Historical Reflections on Bentley, Porson and Housman
Quintilian's De Causis Corruptae Eloquentiae and Tacitus' Dialogus De Oratoribus
Certain proximities between two distinguished but very dissimilar contemporaries, Quintilian and Tacitus, may be stated. Contemporary they were, though the former, born probably a little before A.D. 40, was older by about twenty years. Both were from outside Rome, Quintilian certainly of provincial, Spanish, origin, Tacitus very probably from one of the Galliae , yet both exemplars of Romanitas

1. The way to Bentley: the New Learning in England the seventeenth century, Thomas Gataker and John Pearson. 2. Richard Bentley and Trinity College, Cambridge. 3. The inauguration of the great age of classical scholarship: Bentley's Epistola ad Joannem Millium and A Dissertation upon the Epistles of Phalaris. 4. Bentley the textual critic. 5. The way from Bentley. 6. Porson and the Porsonians. 7. Classical education and scholarship in the Victori…

Horatian notes III: Despised readings in the manuscripts of the Epodes and a passage of Odes Book 3
I continue my observations on neglected readings in Horatian manuscripts, begun in these Proceedings , N.S. 15 (1969) and N.S. 17 (1971). I remind readers that my present subject concerns solely the differences between manuscript readings. In that respect my purpose differs from that of P. Maas in SIFC 27–28 (1956) 227–8. While I would not at all object to walking sulle orme di Paul Maas , my opinions on these matters crystallised before he publi…

The noun beatus is well established in classical verse as well as prose, although naturally it never reached the substantival status of bonus or honestus . D. R.

Tragic History and Aristotle's School
The term ‘tragic history’ was coined in the 1890's by Eduard Schwartz. It was supposed to denote a certain Hellenistic type of historical writing with a twofold inspiration—tragic drama, for its scale, arrangement, and emotion, and literary criticism of the Peripatetic persuasion, for certain theoretical assumptions. The term was vague in the extreme, and being applied to works of writers no longer extant—from Duris to Posidonius—could not well b…

Theophrastus and Zeno on Nature in moral theory
The Construction of the Sixth Book of Polybius
In 1943 one of the authors of this paper set out a case for the view that the sixth book of Polybius' Histories contained two layers, written at different times, and indicating a change in the historian's assessment of the achievements and merits of the Roman hegemony. The arguments there put forward met with some acceptance; but the recent burst of interest in the problems of the sixth book has shown that unanimity is still remote. Among scholar…
Tacitus and the Visurgis. A Gloss in the First Book of the Annals
In a paper on Justus Lipsius and the text of Tacitus's Annals , published in the last issue of this Journal , the present writer did not touch upon the difficult question of interpolations. It has been asserted that ‘there are not many glosses in Tacitus’. This can hardly hold for the Histories and Annals XI–XVI, that is, for the works contained in the Second Mediceus. In fact, the two codices unici differ in this as in other respects. As for the…
Justus Lipsius and the Text of Tacitus
Editors, and other students, of the text of Tacitus have of late been taken up with the problems of the two codices unici and perhaps have tended to neglect the contributions made by their predecessors. If this be true, Dr. J. Ruysschaert has rendered a service to scholarship in publishing a book on Juste Lipse et les Annals de Tacite: une méthode de critique textuelle au XVIe siècle . It is safe to say that up to the nineteenth century a comment…
