The Conjectural Legacy in Editing Horace Exemplified by the First Epode

Addressing three well-known textual issues in Epode 1 (in this order: perdam/ perdat 34, the punctuation of 7–14, superne/superni 29), the author advocates some principles for editors concerning the large legacy of conjectures to Horace: An editor should divide these into four categories according to merit: (I) those adopted in the text itself, with information in the Apparatus criticus, (II) those in the Apparatus criticus only, (III) those in the Appendix critica – the majority, and (IV), if feasible, those found only in a separate repertory/data bank. Whereas the Apparatus criticus should be slim and highly selective, the Appendix critica can be all the more generous. – Strictly philological commentaries accompanying such an edition are seen as a great desideratum in today's classical scholarship.

The Birth of the Textile Industry in Western Colombia

Abstract

‘No industries are to be found in this Province. Everything is imported from the outside at considerable expense. Artisans living by their craft are hardly known, since everyone to a greater or lesser extent tries to subsist as a farmer.’

Kaisersalbung. The Unction of Emperors in Late Byzantine Coronation Ritual
