Description

This edition of Seneca's tragedies presents a secure reconstruction of the two hyparchetypes on which the text depends, based on a comprehensive investigation of all manuscripts and florilegia. Otto Zwierlein demonstrates that all former manuscripts of Seneca's tragedies stem ultimately from these two branches of the tradition.

The edition includes a concise critical apparatus, a fully-referenced account of all testimonia, emendations, and conjectures, and collates all important manuscripts and florilegia. This detailed analysis provides a solid foundation for understanding Seneca's works.

Published in 1986, this reprint edition offers a reliable and authoritative source for scholars and readers interested in the ancient Greek tragedians.
