Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theognidis Reliquiae
Atque omnibus, qui libros alicuius scriptoris edunt, mos est, ut aut quidquid de auctoris vita moribusque traditum est aut quantum ad intelligenda eius scripta satis videtur esse, praamittant. Quo a more mihi, qualia est natura atque indoles Theognidis reli quiarum, recedendum censeo. Nam cum fontes de vita Theognidis satis exigue ?uent, in partem vocanda sunt carmina ipsa, quae quin omnia genuina atque a poeta ipso profecta essent, si extra dubitationem positum esset, omnia eptirne se haberent. Nunc vero cum multos versus subditicios esse inter omnes constet, priusqnam ad poetae vitam illustrandam adhiberi possint, quaestio instituenda est, quae ipsius Theognidis sint quaeque scriptorum aliorum. Con sentaneum est igitur nos, antequam ad vitam enarrandam aggredia mur, de versibus quid statuendum sit, videre.
