It is my goal in this second volume, as it was in its predecessor, the scholia vetera to the Electra, to restore the scholia vetera to the Trachiniae in their oldest recoverable version and corpus. This statement contains a number of key terms which are not explained here. What is a version, what does it tell us about the nature of the transmission of scholia in general, and what are its implications for the editor? What exactly do the oldest recoverable version and corpus represent, and why is it desirable to seek after them at the expense of other versions and corpora? By what methods can we gain access to this oldest version and corpus? These questions as well as the principles which guide me in the constitution of the text are fundamental for a proper understanding of the character of this edition, but are thoroughly dealt with in the first volume, and more specifically in the sections on ‘Editing Scholia: Methodological considerations and the scope of the present edition’, and on ‘The present edition’. Likewise, I do not repeat the description of the manuscripts nor do I outline the distinguishing features of the Roman version again. In this volume I do discuss issues which are peculiar to the new text, and most importantly its manuscript tradition. For the Trachiniae scholia vetera and the Electra scholia vetera differ in that the former text exists in four versions whereas the latter exists in two, and in the fact that the former lacks an indirect tradition. Therefore I provide a description of the two new versions, namely the Triclinian and aa-version, as well as an analysis of the manuscripts’ interrelationships. I also take a fresh look at the previous editions, but only to highlight matters specifically related to the treatment of this text. For the general characteristics of these editions the reader should consult the first volume once again. Preface VIII Once again I wish to record my gratitude to Professor Klaus Alpers and Mr Ian Cunningham who read the final version of the book and provided me with their invaluable comments and expert advice. Ms Stephanie Roussou placed me in her debt by her assistance in proofreading the manuscript. Finally, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the support of Dr Sabine Vogt, my editor at Walter de Gruyter, and of Ms Katharina Fischer, who skilfully prepared the camera-ready copy of the book.
