LUCANUS, De Burgeroorlog. Vertaald en toegelicht door P.H. Schrijvers. Athenueum-Polak & Van Gennep, Amsterdam, 2013. 280p. Cloth wrps. Caesar bij de rivier de Rubico, Pompeius vermoord op een Egyptisch strand, de woestijnmars van Cato in Libië: drie van de vele dramatische hoogtepunten in het historische epos Burgeroorlog (De Bello Civili) van de jonge, briljante Romeinse dichter Lucanus. Dit oorlogsdrama, ‘méér dan een burgeroorlog’, voert de lezer over de toentertijd bekende delen van de aarde en maakt hem tot getuige van een wereldoorlog tussen de twee beroemdste generaals en politici van Rome: Caesar en Pompeius. In latere tijden van oorlog en revolutie werd dit epos veel gelezen en geciteerd, en is de schepper ervan een tweede (anti-) Vergilius genoemd. Onder het regime van keizer Nero werd de jonge dichter Lucanus (39-65 n.Chr.), evenals zijn oom, de filosoof Seneca, gedwongen zichzelf te doden, mede vanwege zijn klachten over het verlies van de republikeinse vrijheid. Voor het eerst verschijnt in Nederland een volledige metrische vertaling van dit epos. (Publisher's information). € 50.00 (Antiquarian)

LUCANUS, Belli Civilis liber septimus. Introduzione, testo critico e commento a cura di D. Gagliardi. La Nuova Italia, Firenze, 1975. XXVI,125p. Hard bound. Edges a bit yellowed. Series: Biblioteca di Studi Superiori, Vol.LXIII. The book under review ‘contains an introduction, bibliography, Lives of Lucan, text with notes and brief apparatus criticus, and an index nominal. The introduction is mainly concerned with the literary appreciation and political background of Book VII. Lucan’s Stoic sympathies, the pathos and grandeur of his work, the new turn that his love of freedom gave to Latin poetry his Nachleben, the revival of interest in his epic today, his pessimistic attitude towards the running of the universe, his debt to his predecessors and anti-virginian tendencies, and his characterisation of Pompey - each of these is briefly treated, with references to modern writings. (…) One of the chief merits of this work is the attempt at every sentence to give a literary appreciation. (…) Points of dispute are discussed at some length and useful parallels adduced.’ (O.A.W. DILKE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1978, p.40). € 65.00 (Antiquarian)
