Excerpt from T.' Macci Plavti, Captivi: With Introduction and Notes

The text of the present edition of the Captivi may by some, perhaps, be considered ultra-conservative. I still hold, and more firmly than ever, the view expressed in my edition of the Phormio of Terence, that the testimony of the manuscripts is invariably entitled to more consideration than arbitrary "corrections." Again and again has it been demonstrated that manuscript readings, which to our imperfect vision seemed impossible, represent after all what was originally written in ancient texts. Even while the present volume is in preparation, there appears in the Rheinisches Museum an article by Birt, wherein he makes it seem probable that scores of manuscript readings in Plautus which editors have considered certainly corrupt, and which most of them have taken it upon themselves to "emend," are correct as they stand. Many other supposedly corrupt manuscript readings in Plautus have, during the last few years, been vindicated by the work of Leo, Skutsch, and other investigators. When our fallibility of judgment on such matters is being demonstrated afresh, even as we go to press with our new editions, does it not become us to treat the text with the utmost caution and to cherish an increasing respect for manuscript traditions?
