Softcover book. Gorgias Press. 2009. 62 pages.
Very Good Condition. John Leverett Moore, in this doctoral thesis for Johns Hopkins University, examines the methods by which Servius organized his commentary on Virgil. Servius was an grammarian whose commentary on Virgil preserves a great deal of information on the ancient reception Virgil and the world of the early principate. Servius is receiving critical attention in modern scholarship as an author in his own right, and this piece is a valuable companion to those who wish to read Servius for Servius.
