work (1907-1910) on post-Augustan poetry, excluding didactic poetry, fable and satire, but including Seneca's tragedies, Lucan, Calpurnius, Valerius Flaccus, Silius, Statius, Ausonius, Claudian, the Latin Anthology, and other works. Of writings on later authors we may mention some lively papers on Manilius, most of them evoked by A. E. Housman's and H. W. Garrod's editions of the second book;1 some very valuable notes on Persius by A. E. Housman,2 and the conclusion of C. Marchesi's researches into the Persian scholia; E. Ackermann's defence of Seneca's authorship of the Hercules Oetaeus; O. Kramer's full critical edition of Valerius Flaccus, finishing the work of S. Sudhaus; 5 J. Mesk's study of the relations between Lucian's Nigrinus and Juvenal; J. de Decker's Juvenalis declamans, a French essay on Juvenal's rhetoric; one French and two German books on Commodian; and lastly, F. Vollmer's new edition, after Baehrens, of parts of the second volume of the Poetae Latini Minores, containing the Halieutica, Grattius, and the Homerus Latinus.9

Disputations1 by M. Pohlenz have appeared, with commentary, and an introduction giving an account of Cicero's philosophical studies. C. Simbeck has published an important critical text of the Cato maior.2 E. Norden under the title Aus Ciceros Werkstatt 3 traces indications of incomplete revision in the Brutus, pro Caelio, and Catiline III. G. Nicastro has published some pamphlets on the law of Cicero's speeches.* E. Kalinka has argued that the Bellum Civile was published by Caesar himself." H. J. Edwards has produced a useful school edition of Livy i., W. Heraeus a second edition of Weissenborn's Livy xli. - cxlii., and H. Röhl a sixth edition of Bonnell's Quintilian Inst. Or. x.8 Th. Stangl has written an important series of articles on the text of Valerius Maximus and his fourth-century epitomiser Julius Paris, and P. H. Damsté 10 is discussing many passages of Valerius at length. The Declamations under the Empire,' a paper read by W. C. Summers to the Classical Association,11 deals with the elder Seneca, and there have also been notes on his text by R. Novák,12 and on the younger Seneca's text by J. Marouzeau 13 and A. Bourgery.14 Students of Petronius must read Studien zur lateinischen und griechischen Sprachgeschichte, by E. Thomas.15 E. W. Bowen has edited Tacitus' Annals i. and ii., with introduction and

NEW TESTAMENT

THE present chapter covers the work of two years. The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopaedia,1 which has been described in earlier issues, has now been completed. It fills twelve substantial volumes. The much larger German work, in twenty-two volumes, on which it was based, has been enriched this year by the publication of two substantial supplementary volumes,2 bringing the treatment of the subjects down to date, and with some important additions. Two new volumes have also been added to Dr Hastings' great Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, while Schiele's Dictionary is approaching conclusion. Three series of collected essays, which also cover much more than the New Testament, may be mentioned here. The most noteworthy is the volume 5 by seven Oxford men, edited by Mr Streeter, who contributes an essay on 'The Historic Christ.' Three of the nine essays are mainly concerned with the New Testament, the greater part of the volume rather with Systematic Theology. A still smaller proportion is given
