Editing Sulpicia
-
Dániel Kiss
Abstract
Some textual problems in the poems of Tibullus and the rest of the Corpus Tibullianum still have not been solved satisfactorily. In the poems of, and on, Sulpicia it is particularly hard to determine what part of the text is original but unconventional and what part is corrupt. The transmitted text needs to be examined carefully and its corruptions emended. Commentaries and studies of the poems and their transmission available today put us in a good position to conduct these tasks. The paper focuses on a selection of textual problems in one poem about Sulpicia ([Tibullus] 3.8 = 4.2) and three of her epigrams (3.13 = 4.7, 3.15 = 4.9, and 3.16 = 4.10).
