Extract

The text of Euripides' Troades depends mainly upon the versions preserved in two manuscripts, viz. Palatinus 287 (P) and Vaticanus 909 (V). Both these manuscripts are well known and have been several times collated. Their importance in relation to one another and to the other existing manuscripts for the study of the text of Euripides in general has been frequently discussed and is no longer a subject of major controversy. The notes which follow are designed (a) to put on record a number of corrections to the readings ascribed to P and V for the Troades in the apparatus criticus of Prinz-Wecklein and later editors; and (b) to correct and amplify the general descriptions of P and to call attention to certain difficulties in the current views of its relationship to Laurentianus xxxii. (L).
