Cynthia Damon's new edition, supplemented by a detailed monograph, gives a wonderfully clear and thorough account of how modern texts of e bello ciuili have to be constructed, identifying which of the 200 or so extant manuscripts gets us closest to the readings of that lost Carolingian copy

T.P Wisemen, The Times Literary Supplement

Readers of this new edition will find many new compelling readings, and the apparatus criticus will enable them to understand the rationale behind each choice and then accept or reject specific readings.

Luca Grillo, GNOMON

This excellent edition makes serious contributions to the reconstruction of the text, and its careful and deep reading of the text of BC and the close study of its textural tradition is accompanied by an insightful commentary on troublesome passages that brings to light the enormous complexity of a text that has been transmitted in such a deficient way, offering suggestive new proposals that will encourage reflection on the reading and interpretation of the work of Caesar.

Antonio Moreno Hernández, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Studies on the Text of Caesar's Bellum civile is a companion volume to Damon's revised Oxford Classical Texts edition of Caesar's Bellum civile, his account of his civil war with Pompey. Comprising three parts, this volume investigates the detailed philological arguments that underpin the revised edition of the text. The first part supplements the preface of the Oxford Classical Texts edition, providing an expanded background on the history of the text and a more detailed argument for the shape of the stemma. The second part is a discussion of nature and the causes of the difficulties present in the text of the Bellum civile and their consequences for the revised edition. The third part presents a series of around 75 notes on different areas of the text, exploring in depth the contentions behind the various remedies suggested in the critical apparatus of the Oxford Classical Texts edition.
