When Friedrich Klingner released his new edition of Horatius in 1939, published in the "Bibliotheca Teubneriana," it had a revolutionary impact on both teaching and research. Klingner's text held a dominant position internationally for many decades. In particular, his edition became a cornerstone for students of Latin in the tradition of German grammar schools and universities. Even today, scholars continue to rely on Klingner's reconstruction of the text.

In response to numerous requests from customers, the publishers have decided to reissue Klingner's Horatius text as an unrevised reprint of the 3rd edition from 1959. This decision marks a significant milestone in the preservation and dissemination of this important literary work.

Klingner's edition of Horatius is renowned for its meticulous scholarship and attention to detail. He meticulously studied the original manuscripts and consulted a wide range of historical sources to provide a comprehensive and accurate representation of the text. His edition has become a standard reference for scholars and students alike, and its influence can be seen in the many subsequent editions and translations that have been published.

The reissue of Klingner's Horatius text is a testament to the enduring value of classical literature and the importance of preserving and promoting it. It will be a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Rome. We are grateful to the publishers for their commitment to this project and hope that it will inspire further research and appreciation of this great work.
