"Gruzelier's translation...is smooth, careful to reflect the Latin without excessive paraphrase, and an effective rendering of Claudian's stylistic idiosyncrasies....An excellent text and resource for use in history, art, and literature in translation courses that concentrate upon or extend into the Late Antique period."--The Classical Outlook

"A long overdue and most welcome addition to the stock of critical writing on late antique literature. Gruzelier offers readers a non-nonsense introduction, a well-chosen and independent-minded text, a remarkably user-friendly apparatus, a straightforward translation, and, above all, well over two hundred pages of accurate and helpful notes....Indispensable for future students of the poem."--Bryn Mawn Classical Review
