Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, leicht berieben/clean text pages, minor traces of use, slightly rubbed. Edited by David Armstrong, Jeffrey Fish, Patricia A. Johnston and Marilyn B. Skinner. Papers presented at the Symposium Cumanum "Vergil and Philodemus", held at the Villa Vergiliana in Cuma, Italy, in June 2000. Sixteen scholars trace Philodemus' influence on Vergil's early writings, the Eclogues and the Georgics, and on the Aeneid, as well as on the writings of Horace and others. The volume editors also provide a substantial introduction to Philodemus' philosophical ideas for all classicists seeking a fuller understanding of this pivotal figure.

University of Texas Press, Austin, 2004. 1st ed. XII,361p. Original black cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Dust wrps to upper edge a bit wrinkled. After the generous but unwieldy Introduction (24 pages), there are six groups of articles: two on the early poems, three on different aspects of the Aeneid, one on the Augustans. There is an excellent Bibliography, a List of Contributors, a General Index and an Index Locorum. The volume is beautifully edited, with very few and inconsequential typographical errors. (.) In Part I: Early Vergil, three essayists offer evidence for the influence of Epicureanism on V's early works. The principal weakness is that the authenticity and general acceptance of some of these early works are not sufficiently addressed. (.) In contrast to the first section, the three essays in Part II: Eclogues and Georgics are of outstanding quality, though they further the aims of the project with varying degrees of success. (.) Part III: The Aeneid: The Emotions. (.) This segment of the volume is particularly important in its potential demonstration of P's influence on V. The three articles which comprise this section are all informative (.). The essays in Part IV: The Aeneid: Piety and the Gods have much to contribute to Vergilian scholarship. All are extremely well written, but how well each one furthers the project's aims varies. (.) In Part V: The Aeneid: Aesthetics, Marilyn B. Skinner's 'Carmen inane: Philodemus' Aesthetics and Vergil's Artistic Vision' is yet another product of a seasoned scholarly mind. (.) Daniel Delattre comprehensively reviews references to music and musical instruments in 'Vergil and Music, in Diogenes of Babylon and Philodemus'. (.) The title includes the Augustans, but the two essays on Horace and Propertius constitute negligible treatment.' (L.N. QUARTARONE in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.64).…
