Abstract

The groundwork for a reliable edition of Seneca's tragedies was done fifty years ago by three men who died in the First World War: C. E. Stuart, T. Düring and W. Hoffa. Yet no complete edition since has taken full account of their work. It is even now not widely enough known that the papers of all three are readily available; Stuart's papers (dissertation, handwritten notes, and collations) are now in Trinity College Library, Cambridge,2and those of Hoffa and Düring (including a draft apparatus to all the tragedies exceptOedipusand most ofPhaedra) are in Göttingen University Library.3Stuart's work has lain in particular obscurity, and for my work on the tradition I have given especial attention to it.
