Synopsis
This book is a scholarly examination of different versions of Horace's written works and how to determine the most authentic versions. Focusing primarily on the earliest, pre-medieval codices, the author traces the development and transmission of Horace's works across generations of scribes.

Drawing on the author's deep understanding of paleography, philology, and the history of literature, this book reveals the fascinating story of a classic work. It is an essential resource for students of Horace and Roman literature.
