Ein inhaltlich und formal neuartiges Konzept kommt den Bedurfnissen unterschiedlicher Benutzergruppen entgegen. Der Kommentar zu einzelnen Versgruppen bzw.

Ein deutschsprachiger wissenschaftlicher Gesamtkommentar zu Homers Ilias ist seit dem Kommentar von Ameis-Hentze-Cauer (1868-1913) nicht mehr erschienen. In der Zwischenzeit hat die Homer-Forschung auf samtlichen traditionellen Teilgebieten (Sprache, Realien, Struktur usw.) erhebliche Fortschritte gemacht.

Since Ameis-Hentze-Cauer (1868-1913) no comprehensive, scholarly commentary of Homer's Iliad has been published in German.

This is a new text edition, based on several manuscripts not yet employed by previous editors, with Prolegomena, Italian translation, commentary and indices of the Ars Rhetorica ad C. Herennium. This text was long-time wrongly ascribed to Cicero as his own correction of De inventione, an analogous but incomplete handbook of rhetoric. The Prolegomena and the commentary represent the largest approach ever attempted to this important work of Latin literature.
