Lóio, Ana Maria dos Santos, 1980-2023-05-092023-05-092023-01(Eds.). (01 Jan. 2023). Editing and Commenting on Statius' Silvae. Leiden, The Netherlands: Brill. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004529069978-90-04-52841-3http://hdl.handle.net/10451/57387The Silvae by Statius dethroned Virgil from the Studio in Naples, fostered the creation of a new genre, offered a model for court poetry, and seduced the most prestigious Humanists in the most vibrant centres of Renaissance Italy and the Netherlands. The collection preserves magnificent buildings otherwise lost; speaks of stones otherwise unknown; and memorializes people, rituals, and social relationships that would have passed into oblivion in silence. This volume offers a fresh look into approaches to the Silvae by editors and commentators, both at the time of the rediscovery of the poems and today.engStatiusSilvaeEditingCommentariesbookhttps://doi.org/10.1163/9789004529069
