' ... awesome learning, massively detailed coverage, strong opinions and lively debate.[...] All in all, it is totally impossible to do justice to H.’s labours in a short review. One can only say that, as with all his earlier work on the Aeneid, this book must be on the desk of all Vergilians and indeed of all those who work on Latin poetry.'

On Nicholas Horsfall’s commentaries on Aeneid 2 and 3:
"Dieses neue [...] Duett beschließt Horsfalls große Tetralogie definitiver Vergilkommentare.[...] die vier vorgelegten Bände gehören zu den Monumenten moderner Philologiegeschichte und sind – wie La Cerda, Heyne (undWagner) oder Norden – aus der Exegese des größten aller römischen Dichter schlechterdings nicht mehr wegzudenken.
