Early Latin
A Comparison of the Language of Tragedy and Comedy in Early Latin Drama
This chapter examines aspects of coordination in the language of Latin prayers. The general question addressed concerns the sense in which ‘early Latin’ features manifest themselves in prayers, and whether the term ‘early Latin’ is an appropriate designation of any peculiarities of prayer coordination. The results of the inquiry on ‘early’ prayers in the corpus considered in the chapter is that asyndeton bimembre, though in use, was not in high f…
Tibullan impersonation and Callimachean influence in the Messalla Panegyric ([Tib.] 3.7)
This chapter asks how a hexameter panegyric found its way into an elegiac collection by various authors that has come down to us as the Appendix Tibulliana . Peirano (2012) makes a good case for the poem being a Tibullan impersonation and this chapter takes the argument further, suggesting that some of the peculiarities of the panegyric are derived from its connection with Callimachean epinicion, also a feature of Tibullus 1.7. The similarity in …
Early and Late Latin
This book addresses the question of whether there are continuities in Latin spanning the period from the early Republic through to the Romance languages. It is often maintained that various usages admitted by early comedy were rejected later by the literary language but continued in speech, to resurface centuries later in the written record (and in Romance). Are certain similarities between early and late Latin all that they seem, or might they b…

Tibullus
This is a new edition of the Augustan poet, Albius Tibullus and a major commentary by Robert Maltby, the first in English since K F Smith (1913) to treat Tibullus' entire oeuvre within a single cover. It takes full account of up-to-date scholarship on this learned, elegant and, until recently, much underestimated poet. The text is based on that of A G Lee (1990), variations from which are listed at the end and discussed in the notes. The Introduc…

The distribution of Greek loan–words in Terence
The aim of this paper is to discuss Terence's use of Greek loan-words and to examine their distribution by plays and by characters. How far are they used for stylistic effect and what relationship do they have to the themes of different plays? Is there any evidence for the concentration of these words, which often tend to be colloquial in tone, in the mouths of slaves and characters of low social status for the purposes of linguistic characterisa…
