Essential for students of the Aeneid
Austin is excellent in his thorough commentary on Aeneid Liber Secundus. Note that the synopsis is incorrect, this book is the second of the twelve not the fourth. Vergil's original text is included (I am not sure which of A, B etc. versions it is) and this is very useful as one can neatly store it in one's pocket for study whether on the tube, in a garden, or anywhere indeed and be able to read the commentary on it at the same time. It is also amusing in some parts, Austin refers to his favourite 'curva vallis' and to a survey carried out by a Michigan lumberjack! I cannot recommend it more.
