The collection preserves magnificent buildings otherwise lost; speaks of stones otherwise unknown; and memorializes people, rituals, and social relationships that would have passed into oblivion in silence. This volume offers a fresh look into approaches to the Silvae by editors and commentators, both at the time of the rediscovery of the poems and today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures  Abbreviations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Commenting on Statius’ Silvae: No Place for Dead Wood   Ana Lóio    Part 1 The (First) Rediscovery    1 Roman Humanism and the Study of the Silvae in the Fifteenth Century   Giancarlo Abbamonte    2 Poliziano’s (Commentary on Statius’) Silvae: Between Imitation and Exegesis   Luke Roman    Part 2 The Sequel: A New Age of Disclosure    3 The Role of Translation in Commentary on Statius’ Silvae   Bruce Gibson    4 Notes from a New Commentary on Statius’ Silvae   Antonino Pittà    5 Commenting on the Silvae: Visuality, Versatility, Verisimilitude   Kathleen M.
