Critical Notes on Virgil : Editing the Teubner Text of the 'Georgics' and the 'Aeneid'

In this book, conceived as a sort of Prolegomena to his two Teubner editions, Conte gives account of his choices in editing his Virgilian text. Engaging in a passionate debate with his predecessors and critics, he guides the reader in a fascinating journey in the history of transmission and interpretation of __Georgics__ and __Aeneid__ and shows how lively textual criticism can be.
