Catullus and Metre
Among the many accolades that critics bestow on Catullus, one is often absent: metrical revolutionary. This is strange, for we know of no other Roman poet who combined so many poetic forms across so many genres for so many purposes. In what, by other standards, was a brief poetic career – perhaps not even a decade long – we find no fewer than fourteen different metrical forms, two of which may well have been his own innovation. And far from this …
Latin Literature and its Transmission
This is a series of innovative studies in the textual and literary criticism of Latin literature, exploring how these two branches of the discipline are mutually supportive. The contributors include many leading scholars in the field. Individual essays are devoted to Catullus, Cicero, Horace, Lucretius, Ovid, Tacitus and Virgil, and there are also essays on the Renaissance reception of Virgil and on principles of editorial practice. The collectio…
Lucretius auctus? The Question of Interpolation in De rerum natura
This chapter focuses on the active interpolation in Lucretius' poem De rerum natura (DRN) . The notion of spurious verses in Lucretius' great Epicurean poem has been known to its critics since the Renaissance but did not merit anything approaching a systematic theory until the turn of the nineteenth century, when Heinrich Eichstadt suggested that the whole of Lucretius' work had been improved and polished by a later author. The last leaf/leaves o…
Marcus Terentius Varro
Marcus Terentius Varro (b. 116–d. 27 bce) was the most notable polymath of the Roman world. Over the course of his long life, which spanned several of the major events of the late Republic and the birth of the empire, his career brought him to the fore of politics, military service, and (most significantly) scholarship. Educated in Rome by the grammarian L. Aelius Stilo and in Athens by the Platonist Antiochus of Ascalon, Varro produced a remarka…
The Early Textual History of Lucretius' De rerum natura
This is the first detailed analysis of the fate of Lucretius' De rerum natura from its composition in the 50s BC to the creation of our earliest extant manuscripts during the Carolingian Age. Close investigation of the knowledge of Lucretius' poem among writers throughout the Roman and medieval world allows fresh insight into the work's readership and reception, and a clear assessment of the indirect tradition's value for editing the poem. The fi…
