Bucolica, Georgica / Hirtengedichte, Landwirtschaft

Overview

Vor seiner Aeneis verfasste Vergil ein Buch in Hexametern, das zehn Hirtengedichte enthält, und ein aus vier Büchern bestehendes Lehrgedicht über die Landwirtschaft. Die beiden Werke, heute nicht mehr so vielbeachtet wie das Epos über die Vorgeschichte der Gründung Roms, übten bis ins 18. Jahrhundert einen enormen Einfluss auf die europäische Dichtung aus. Sie gehören wegen ihrer Form- und Darstellungskunst und wegen der teils direkten, teils impliziten Bezüge auf die letzten zehn Jahre der römischen Bürgerkriege (42-31 v.Chr.) nach wie vor zur Weltliteratur. In der neuen Ausgabe steht dem lateinischen Text eine metrische Übersetzung gegenüber, die in bewusstem Verzicht auf klassizistische, in unserer Zeit teilweise kaum verständliche Sprache in modernem Deutsch geschrieben ist. Eine Einführung, die sich zu allen Aspekten der Interpretation äußert, ausführliche Erläuterungen, ein Essay über die Wirkungsgeschichte der beiden Werke und eine Bibliographie ergänzen Text und Übersetzung auf einem Niveau, das, wenn auch in erster Linie auf Bedürfnisse des gebildeten interessierten Lesers abgestimmt, doch auch Fachvertreter anspricht.

Reviews

This small volume deserves attention, both in and outside of German-speaking areas. Niklas Holzberg has done a great service to the Virgilian community in completing his Sammlung Tusculum edition of the genuine works of Virgil [...] Certainly for German-speaking scholars outside of the classical disciplines who wish a reliable edition of Virgil that offers both a sound text and a reasonably annotated translation, Holzberg's is now the gold standard. But for the student of Virgil of any level, what makes the present volume a real gem is the understated, high quality of array of aids to the text that Holzberg provides. [...] All Virgilians will want to take a careful look at Holzberg's new editions. Those interested in a refreshing introduction to the poet's life and work will not be disappointed.
