Publius Papinius Statius was one of the most popular classical Latin poets through the mid-eighteenth century. His epics - the Thebaid and Achilleid - were among the most influential works in the Middle Ages, with the former being the inspiration for countless versions of the story of Thebes, including the Roman de Thèbes, and the latter forming part of the most common Latin "textbook," the liber Catonianus. In medieval literature, he is best known for being Dante's co-chaperone through Purgatory and his sole chaperone into Paradise. Through the Silvae, Statius wielded an even stronger influence in the early modern period, introducing a previously unknown ancient genre at a time when literature was starting to break away from medieval traditions and giving birth to the concept of "writing while the fire is hot."This volume discusses Statius' reception, interpretation, and popularity through the beginning of the sixteenth century. The discussion and analysis is based on the richest primary source of this type of information, biographical details found in the manuscripts and printed volumes. The purpose of this discussion is to illustrate the most important issue in medieval criticism of Statius: the question of his biography; and to shed light on the very peculiar circumstances of Statius' biographical tradition, which, given the lack of information available to medieval scholars, shows much more clearly the use of sources and the development of academic methodologies than the traditions of other authors. The Manuscripts of Statius is the first complete and detailed catalog of the extant manuscripts of an ancient author. Volume I contains the bibliography, introduction, and catalogs of manuscript materials. Volume II contains indices of the materials in Volume I.

The Manuscripts of Statius

Manuscript evidence is now seen as a much more practical indicator of medieval academic approaches and scholarly methodologies than medieval philosophical tracts. But despite the increased facility of extended international travel in recent decades, there are very few resources that provide detailed descriptions of large numbers of manuscripts or help locate useful manuscript materials. As a result, scholars are often forced to base studies on the examination of a very small number of manuscripts and are unable to discuss either the prevalence or the manuscript context of their materials. The Manuscripts of Statius is the first complete and detailed catalog of the extant manuscripts of an ancient author, in this case Publius Papinius Statius. The volumes provide detailed descriptions of 706 extant manuscripts and 101 annotated early editions of works of Publius Papinius Statius, together with several lost volumes whose makeup can be reconstructed. These date from the eighth to the seventeenth century. They also identify or classify the ancillary materials and provide analyses of key elements, from the condition of the manuscripts to the development of Statius' reception. While these volumes are intended to foster and support Statian studies, they will also serve as a baseline for studies of other authors' manuscripts and will provide critical primary data to codicologists and scholars of medieval literary theory and criticism. This is a complete revision of the 2000 edition. Volume I contains the bibliography, introduction, and catalogs of manuscript materials, including manuscripts, annotated early printed editions, entries in medieval library inventories, and an index to the introduction.
