The Achilleid was begun in ca. 95 and left unfinished at his death in ca. 96. The present work, in three volumes, offers a revised text of the two epics with an apparatus criticus (volume I), a prose translation (volume II), and an extensive secondary apparatus accompanied by discussion of the manuscripts and previous editions (volume III). J. B. Hall is Hildred Carlile Professor of Latin Emeritus of the University of London. He has published extensively on Claudian, Ovid and John of Salisbury. A. L. Ritchie is MA in Classics, University of London, and a freelance copy-editor of learned journals. M. J.

He has published widely on the Attic Orators, Plutarch and the Latin philosophical works of Francis Bacon. He is co-author with J. B. Hall of the editio princeps of Pierfrancesco Giustolo’s commentary on Claudian, De raptu Proserpinae.
