Liviana: Studies On Livy

Written to accompany the author's Oxford Classical Texts edition of Livy, Books 21-25 (OUP, 2016), this volume opens with a survey of the history of editing of Livy from the editio princeps up to the present day, before focusing on detailed discussion of passages presenting particular textual difficulties. It also includes information omitted from that edition, such as examination of the conjectures in British Library manuscript Harley 2493 which wereattributed to 'Az', alongside a list of addenda and corrigenda. The volume concludes with a brief return to the author's commentaries on and editions of Books 31-45, including discussion of a textual problem inBook 34 and the text of the fourth decade known to the pre-humanist Lovato Lovati.
