LATN 201: Vergil (HC): Using Editions, Commentaries, and Translations

Tripod often lists a translation as the original title + English + Year of publication:   

• Virgil  Aeneis.  English.  2005  (Translation by Stanley Lombardo) 

• Virgil  Aeneis.  English.  1983  (Translation by Allen Mandelbaum)      

But several recent translations are listed simply as:

• Virgil  Aeneis.  English   (Including translations by Sarah Ruden and Frederick Ahl)

• Virgil  Georigca.  English.  (Translation by Peter Fallon in 2006) 

• Virgil  Bucolica.  English.   (Translation by Paul Alpers in 1979)    

Searching by the English title of a work may miss some of the translations available.

        Standard Editions
            
1) Loeb Classical Library
A series of Latin and Greek texts with facing page English translations.  Now published by Harvard University Press but started in 1912 by the publisher William Heinemann.  The critical apparatus is minimal at best and should be supplemented by a more scholarly edition.  

2)  Oxford Classical Texts - Search Scriptorum classicorum bibliotheca Oxoniensis  A series of Ancient Latin and Greek texts with critical notes.  In recent years introductions appear in English; earlier introductions were in Latin.  
3) Cambridge green and yellow series - Search: "Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics"     A series of Ancient Greek and Latin texts with commentaries that address literary issues as well as grammatical ones.  

4)  Teubner Series - Search Biblotheca scriptorum Graecorum et Romanorum Teubneriana. Also a series of Ancient Latin and Greek texts with critical notes.  Teubner has been publishing longer than Oxford and has the greatest number of texts available in modern editions with extensive notes.
