THIS edition of Sallust's Bellum Catilinae is based on the third edition of the work by Director J. H. Schmalz. Director Schmalz's extensive scholarship, his profound knowledge of the grammatical and stylistic peculiarities of the Latin prose writers, and his experience as a teacher, eminently fitted him to edit the writings of Sallust for the class-room. The favorable reception his Sallust has had in Germany, proves that it fully meets all the requirements of the latest scholarship. In adapting Schmalz's work to the needs of American schools, his text -which in the main is Jordan's - has not been changed, except as regards the punctuation. This has been altered, so as to conform to American usage. As in the United States Sallust is most frequently read by students who are not so far advanced in their Latin studies as those for whom Schmalz's book was prepared, additional notes on grammar, style, and translation have been added wherever it seemed useful. For the same reason a departure has been made from Schmalz's practice in another particular. While he confines his historical comments to the narrowest limits, it has been thought best here to make them as complete and helpful as possible. The Introduction is entirely independent of Schmalz. In preparing the historical matter, frequent use has been made of the Jacobs-Wirz edition of Sallust. For the grammatical The University of Iowa LIBRARIES iii |
