Editions: a

The editio princeps first printed edition, which appeared in Basel in 1492 at the house of Amerbach, flowed from several codices, among which there is no doubt that T held the first place. For this reason, not only is the edition itself of quite mediocre value, but its authority also held bad sway over later editors, who accepted many of its readings even against their own codices. Of the editions that followed, by far the worst is the Roman one (1579—1587). This is understood from its readings noted by the Maurists; very few places are to be excepted, where the editor found the truth by conjecture. The Maurist edition, which appeared in Paris in 1686, provided a large supply of variant readings in its notes.
