P. Papinius Statius Volume V: Siluae, Readings and Conjectures

Publius Papinius Statius was born in Naples (Neapolis) around the middle of the first century AD, the son of a distinguished professional poet. Statius’ own oeuvre was considerable: an epic in twelve books on the theme of the Seven against Thebes; an unfinished epic on the story of Achilles of which one book and a portion of a second survive; and five books of Siluae comprising thirty-two occasional poems written for rich patrons.This volume provides a comprehensive conspectus of readings of the manuscripts of the Siluae, together with a complete register of known conjectures by modern scholars.
