Main description: Working "in the shadow of Eduard Norden" in the author's own words, Nicholas Horsfall has written his own monumental commentary on Aeneid 6. This is Horsfall's fifth large-scale commentary on the Aeneid, and as his earlier commentaries on books 7, 11, 3, and 2, this is not a commentary aimed at undergraduates. Horsfall is a commentators' commentator writing with encyclopedic command of Virgilian scholarship for the most demanding reader. Volume One includes the introduction, text and translation, and bibliography,Volume Two includes the commentary, appendices, and indices
Review text: Praise for Nicholas Horsfall's earlier Aeneid commentaries: 'The persistent wish to do full justice to the author'Jan den Boeft, Mnem.55 (2002), 374 'the most important aspect of this commentary consists in the fact that H. approaches Virgil's language almost as if discovering it for the first time'Joseph Farrell, Vergilius 50 (2004), 183 'many acute observations and specimens of good judgement, sometimes also showing a sense of humour'H.K.Riikonen, Arctos 40 (2006), 221 'marqueront profondement et durablement les études virgiliennes'Jacques Poucet, Ant.Class.77 (2009), 443 'On a plaisir à saluer l'extrême richesse de ce commentaire'J.Champeaux, REL 79 (2001) 271 'What Horsfall has given us is a genuinely amazing book, rich and exciting and we should all be grateful to him.'
