Re: VIRGIL: Loeb for student text?

2006-09-05 Thread ahern
In my Dante course I some times assign the Aeneid in the Mandelbaum
translation, which students actually read. I agree that the Loeb would not
work very well.

What is the current understanding of the relationship between the Aeneid
and its earliest audience?

Am I correct in guessing that as a text available in scrolls
1) it was read aloud to groups
2) it was sometimes read by single readers who perhaps performed or uttered
it in a low voice?
3) Cross-referencing was not written into to it because it was not easy to
skip from verse to verse within a scroll, or between scrolls,
4) that it ordinarily did not appear with gloss or commentary.

Any bibiliographical references on this matter would be most welcome,
