The first new addition to the "Harvard Servius" to appear in over fifty years, this edition of the Servian commentaries on Aeneid 9-12 is superior to all previous editions of Servius in the constitution and layout of its text, its accurate and thorough critical apparatuses, and its rich collection of testimonia.

"Their edition is worthy of praise: needless to say, it is set to become the reference edition of Servius and the Seruius auctus over many decades. Given the great usefulness of these commentaries, not so much to the understanding of Virgil's oeuvre but rather for the study of what we may call 'Virgilian exegetical stratification,' as well as for our knowledge of the culture of Late Antiquity, Murgia's and Kaster's work is to be welcomed with enthusiasm and gratitude." -- Classical Journal-Online "The realization of this (part of the) 'Harvard Servius' project has been hard to believe in for a long time, and yet here it is, an edition of the Servian commentaries on Aeneid 9--12! The product of decades of dedicated work by Charles Murgia and his students, substantially supplemented, judiciously sifted, and neatly prepared for publication by Robert Kaster, this splendid edition retains its predecessors' fundamental aim of distinguishing clearly between Servius and Servius Auctus and so reveals the character of the latter, but its critical apparatus is far more useful and-mirabile dictu-it provides both the long-desiderated testimonial apparatus and a finding aid that makes the sometimes recondite testimonia readily accessible. A work of enduring scholarship, all the more to be celebrated because so nearly lost." --Cynthia Damon, University of Pennsylvania "This edition-the culmination of many years of work by the late Charles Murgia-sets a new standard for the editing of Servius' commentary on the Aeneid. Robert Kaster has rendered an enormous service to scholarship by completing Murgia's work and preparing it for publication. Its appearance is a landmark in Servian studies." --Richard J. Tarrant, Harvard University "All Latinists are in Robert Kaster's debt for completing with such distinction the late Charles Murgia's long-awaited volume of Servius. Together they have created a better, clearer, and more scholarly edition than E. K. Rand could ever have imagined when he conceived it a century ago." --James E. G. Zetzel, Columbia University
