Beschreibung
The Students' Series of Latin Classics. Edited on the Basis of Wölfflin's Edition with introduction and maps by John K. Lord. Antique volume, measuring approximately 5.25" x 7.25", is bound in dark red cloth, with stamped gilt lettering to spine and front cover. Title and author's name are stamped in black on front cover. Book shows shelfwear, with mild rubbing and faint staining to rear cover. Binding is firm. Interior is clean and without markings. Fold-out frontispiece map of western Mediterranean is in excellent condition, as are two other fold-out maps. This work has notes, critical appendix, and index. xxv/388 pages. "This edition of Livy is based upon Professor Wölfflin's third edition of the 21st book -- revised by Luterbacher -- and his second edition of the 22nd book. The text is that of Wölfflin without change, but in an appendix will be found in a brief consideration of the principal variations of the Mss., and the more important conjectures. The notes of Professor Wölfflin's edition, whcih are of especial value for the help they give toward a correct understanding of the Hannibalic war, by correcting and supplementing Livy's account, and also for the attention they pay to the literary and grammatical study of the author, I hve attempted to adapt to the needs of our college students. Some I have omitted, many have been expanded or contracted, and something has been added in the way of historical explanation, and in consideration of Livy's style, and in references to the grammars. In connection with Wölfflin's edition, I have made special use of Weissenborn's, Fabri's, Luter bacher's, Tücking's, and also of many others. The introduction of Livy as a writer, and on the relations of Rome and Carthage to the close of the Punic wars, has been added, and also the index to the notes. Of the maps, that of Lake Trasumennus is from Wölfflin's edition; that of the Alps is take, with a slight change, from Arnold's "Second Punic War"; and the plan of the field of Cannae is slightly changed from the one in Smith's "Carthage and the Carthaginians."".
