Futher information appears in the commentary and in the appendices, particularly readings of manuscripts and editions.The verbatim commentary offers, with reliable "es for each term, the critical observations of all the editors and commentators of the Ovidian work throughout the centuries. This aspect of critical edition has been neglected by commentators of Ovid since Heinsius (1659) and Burman (1727).Two appendices ("Readings of manuscripts" and "Readings of editions") are added for the first time for readers of the Ovidian work.The volume closes with a "Select index of textual problems", a large "Index locorum" and an "Index nominum" UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110731781 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110731781 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110731781/original ER -
