"Claudian's invective against Flavius Rufinus, Praetorian Prefect of the East in 392-395, reflects vividly the stresses and strains which attended the splitting of the Roman Empire into an eastern and a western part...In 1935, Harry L. Levy edited the poem and supplied an introduction dealing with the historical background, the life and works of Claudian, and the manuscript tradition, as well as textual notes dealing with some 75 doubtful passages. Scholars expressed appreciation for the exegetical elements contained in those textual notes and hoped for the appearance of a full commentary. This commentary is now presented in its entirety." - dj.
