Vergiliana
Critical Studies on the Texts of Publius Vergilius Maro
«
"In this book Professor Kraggerud distils a lifetime’s learning and reflection on the textual criticism of Virgil. He discusses some hundred textual problems. Against those textual critics who insist on the received text he proposes conjectures, and argues for forty-four emendations on literary as well as palaeographical grounds. Scholars interested in the text of Virgil will want to own a copy and consider Professor Kraggerud’s suggestions."

- S. J. Heyworth, University of Oxford, UK, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2017
"It makes a valuable contribution to the reconstruction of several dozen passages in Vergil, as a result of which it will be obligatory reading for all future editors and commentators, and it can safely be recommended to anyone interested in these parts of the text."
- Daniel Kiss, Universitat de Barcelona & Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyegyetem, Exemplaria Classica, 2017
"The greatest merit of Kraggerud's work is to remind us that what we read in Virgil's editions is in no way a definitive text, but despite its relative stability there are still many points that are open to discussion and partly unresolved, but also possible hidden corruptions that may have escaped generations of readers and still require healing. For these reasons, as well as for the wealth and accuracy of the data made available, the present work will certainly have to be carefully considered by every future publisher of Virgil."
- Emanuele Berti, Rivista di Filologia e di Istruzione Classica 145, 2017
"Despite the uncertainty that will continue to characterize many of Virgil's textual problems, the importance of the c
