Description

Light bump to front upper corner. Else fine. ; The commentary offers a close reading of the satire. It traces the connecting thread through the various episodes. This exercise shows that in two places blocks of lines have been displaced in the vulgate tradition, one of them in the proximity of the “Oxford fragment”. Differences between the readings of manuscripts are confronted and, where possible, resolved. A text resulting from these textual discussions is printed. The commentary analyses the intertextual references that are threaded through the text. It separates out the voice of the moralist from that of the humorist, and identifies the author’s voice as mockingly anti-Caesarean. ; Collection Latomus Volume 329; 473 pages
