This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ...in Lucretius always refers to sound: bombum, iv, 546; cornices, vi, 75l; raucisonus cantus, ii, 619, v, 1082; hence it goes with tussi and not with fauces. 6, 1195 duraque inhoretiacetrectum frons tenta mebat Q has inoretiacet, and Lachmann insists that the h of 0 points out the true reading and quotes several places where 0 retains h rightly and Q omits it. But Q has habire, ii, 962; humens, iii, 152; cohire, iii, 395; hacerunte, iii, 978; hanimus, iv, 787; ac rightly in vi, 229, where 0 has hac; aes rightly in vi, 966, where 0 has hes; colos rightly in vi, 1074, where 0 has cholos; so that in this particular one manuscript is as good as the other. Lucretius is following Hippocrates Prog. 2 here who is translated by Celsus, ii, 6: nares acutae collapsa tempora oculi concavi frigidae languidaeque aures et imis partibus leniter versae cutis circa f rontem dura et intenta; and no one has tried to find a reference to the ears in Lucretius. lt may be that iam auriculae traetae lies concealed in inhoretiacetrectum; Hippocrates says the ears were cold, contracted, and their lobes turned out, in the Coac. Pr., 862, &ra... avveo-raXfieva oXedpiov. The corruptions o for au, t for c, i for l, u for a, are all common. Traetae l take for contractae and metrical cogency may excuse it. As for mebat, Nonius, manebat is most probable: maneant, Q in vi, 777, for meant. Heinsius, tumebat is not supported by any mention elsewhere, so far as l know, of the forehead swelling in the death agony. lam is elided in ii, 974, and follows-que in i, 315. 6, 1199 quorum siquis ut est vitarat funera leti Ut est has been questioned by many, and it cannot be adequately defended by the two other instances in the poem, i, 419, vi, 1167. Possibly ut est may be a synonym...
