SUETONIUS, — Divus Claudius. Edited by D.W. Hurley.

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2009. Reprint 1st ed. VIII,274p. Paperback. Lower corner front cover slightly dog's eared. Appears unread. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. 'Donna Hurley continues her services to Suetonian studies with this edition of the 'Life of Claudius' in the Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics series, which should win favour with sutdents and scholars. There is a brief introduction to Suetonius, his work, and Claudius' history; the Latin text, based on Ihm's Teubner edition; nearly 200 pages of commentary (...), covering historical and linguistic matters; bibliography; three indices: Latin words, general topics (both historical and syntactical), and personal names; and two stemmatic diagrams. H.'s treatment of Suetonius is generally conservative and slightly apologetic. (...) The commentary provides detailed historical background and considerable assistance to the sudent translating the Latin. (...) As always, there will be disagreements over the interpretation of passages. (...) These comments, however, should not be seen as detracting from the considerable value of H.'s commentary.' (ARTHUR J. POMEROY in The Classical Review (New Series) 2002, pp.22-23). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.
