Fulk, the Third Edition provides substantially revised Commentaries updated to reflect advances in textual and interpretive scholarship, a rewritten essay on versification incorporating contemporary metrical scholarship, and an updated bibliography. Where needed, Professor Fulk has made minor corrections and emendations to the texts and notes, based on readings against facsimiles of the manuscripts or surviving transcripts."--BOOK JACKET.
