Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings, 1899, Vol. 30
At any rate, until a new and thorough collation of the lead ing Terentian mss. Is published an editor of Terence must base his work upon Umpfenbach s apparatus, availing himself, of course, of such additional light as various scholars Often throw upon the subject.
The objection that Pease's reasoning cannot be free from the subjective element is perfectly valid, if he followed his own preference in choosing between conflicting readings. But let us examine some of the best modern editions, which theoretically assign more weight to the 8 than to the 7 family. I say 'theoretically, ' for my own investigations seem to prove that certain mss. Are not as authoritative with some scholars as they themselves imagine.
