Vol. 1 in this copy also preserves two cancellands (pp. 201-204) that explain why this is: evidently during the printing of the first volume it was decided to add a ‘Hypothesis’ to the beginning of each play, to effect which the section-title for each play (containing on its verso the character list) was cancelled and replaced with two leaves, so that the ‘Hypothesis’ could take up the verso of the section-title and the recto of the character list. It appears that pp. 201-202, which hold the final lines of the Phoenissae, had accidentally omitted line 1778 and so this leaf was also cancelled & replaced along with the following one (containing the section-title to Medea). ‘As a Greek scholar Musgrave had few superiors, and his great delight was the study and annotation of the works of Euripides. He himself was unable through want to publish a comprehensive edition of that author, but his extensive notes and collections, designed to form the basis of such a work, were published in four volumes in 1778... this edition continued to be embodied in numerous later editions after his death and is still respected as a contribution’ (odnb). The first three volumes contain the Greek text of the plays and Musgrave’s notes, while the fourth volume contains Latin translations and the Scholia. 5. Euripides.

The Changing Nature of the Text: Implications for Scholars and Libraries Penn State April 3, 2013 It is always dangerous to give speakers a free choice of topic. Today I intend to draw on my interests in classical philology, the history of classical scholarship, and libraries to examine the symbiotic relationship of philology and libraries [slide 1], to consider how the papyrus roll and codex have defined libraries for most of their history, to survey changes in text and philology over time [slide 2], and to look at some current trends and possible future directions. In some ways this combines intellectual biography with my current reading and reflection. My academic formation began in the very traditional Altertumswissenschaft program at Cincinnati in the 1970s, which integrated philology, history, and archaeology. This was followed by graduate work at Illinois, one of the most hard-core philological programs in North America, where I specialized in Later Latin and Greek papyrology.

  • Why Scholarship Matters
    Why Scholarship Matters Scholars are an endangered species these days, but what a poorer place the world would be without their dedication to detail and passion for accuracy. They’re our invaluable guides to the monuments of the life of the mind. by A. D. Nuttall ne sunny morning in, I think, 1966, one of my more enigmatic Oxford colleagues said to me, “Whatever happened to scholar- Oship?” I made some nonsensical and uncomprehending reply, for the question, like many other remarks of this colleague, needed mulling over. He had noticed what I, with the musty integument of a 1950s Oxford edu- cation still spectrally about me, had not yet seen—that the ideal of scholar- ship had almost ceased to figure explicitly in the moralizing tittle-tattle of English literature academics. The incidence of the word in intellectual dis- course had dropped, while that of intelligent, brilliant, and right had risen. Scholarly and scholarship are now terms for talking about individuals who are in some degree remote from us and belong to a culture very close to but not identical with our own. It may be that intelligence and rightness have begun to take over from schol- arship because of an increasingly widespread presumption that scholarship itself, insofar as it is commendable, is already comprehended by those terms. If a writer is intelligent and right about the material, what need have we to discuss the level of scholarship? All that matters has already been taken care of. In any case, if scholarly means no more than this, why revive a word that is otiose? If, on the other hand, it really does carry a meaning beyond intel- ligent and right, it may continue as a word, but we feel no obligation to notice it, since the whole duty of an intellectual is already comprehended by the other terms (intelligent and right and such).

  • Bishop Monk and the Horfield Question
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 132 (2014), 201–215 Bishop Monk and the Horfield Question By WILLIAM EVANS In July 1848 a House of Commons select committee (and in July 1851 the full House) heard allegations that James Henry Monk, bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, had acted improperly in relation to the Horfield manor estate, which was part of his bishopric’s ecclesiastical property.1 Among other things Monk was accused of acting so as to improve the financial position of himself and his family, and to the detriment of the parish and of a local landowner who was also the perpetual curate of Horfield. The purpose of this paper is to identify the allegations against Monk; to sketch the local background to the dispute and its national context; to assess whether the allegations, and Monk’s counter-allegations, were justified; and to note how the matter was resolved and what its local consequences were, not just for Monk and his successors and for his church, but also for the wider Bristol community. The Horfield Manor Estate Of ancient origin, the manor of Horfield was part of the endowment of St Augustine’s abbey,2 and then of the Bristol diocese.3 It extended over 1,200 acres north of the city of Bristol, from Westbury-on-Trym (which then included Redland) in the west and south to Stapleton and Stoke Gifford in the east, covering not only much of modern Horfield, but reaching north into Filton.4 By the early 19th century parts had been sold off, but the rest of it produced income for the bishopric, not from the rents its manorial tenants paid, but that from the lessee of the manor to 1.

Wilamowitz wrote on Euripi­ I des first in 1867,1 last in 1931.2 For 64 years he was concerned with Euripides. Athenian tragedy always remained a center of his interest. Within this center he wrote least on Sophocles,3 more on Aeschylus,4 but most on Euripides. The Hiller/Klaffenbach bibliog­ raphy lists 45 items on Euripides, against 19 on Aeschylus and 18 on Sophocles.5 Four great books, whose influence on subsequent schol­ arship in tragedy has been incalculable, are concerned wholly with Euripides: the Habilitationsschrift, Analecta Euripidea (1875); the two­ volume Herakles, first published in 1889; the commentary, text, and translation of Hippo!ytus (1891); and the edition of Ion (1926). Mar­ cello Gigante has written that neither Wilamowitz nor Nietzsche pub­ lished a magnum opus.6 Wilamowitz intended Herakles to be that, and completed it in his fortieth year-his acme in the ancient sense7 - with a dedication to Schulpforte, meaning it to be the fulfillment of a vow taken as a schoolboy to become a scholar worthy of his alma mater.8 His history of the text, from autograph to latest edition,9 1 U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, In wieweit bejriedigen die SchlUsse der erhaltenen griechischen Trauerspiele?
