-------------------------------

Ramsey's Sallust appears in the textbook series of the American
Philological Association, edited by Professor Justina Gregory, but as
VP for Publications I have supervisory responsibility for the series,
so this is not and cannot be a review of the book.  It does seem to
merit BMCR readers' attention, however, to call to their attention that
the learned editor has provided several additional resources for
students of the Bellum Catilinae:  the complete Latin text in either
PDF (formatted to the print volume) or Word (adjustable and formattable
to suit the reader's wishes) format, as well as PDFs of a "who's who"
of persons mentioned in the text (i.e., 6 pages of annotated index),
and a page of supplementary bibliography of current work.  These items
are most conveniently available now at

(http://www.oup.com/us/companion.websites/9780195320855/?view=usa)  but
will also be available through the APA website.  Scholars, teachers,
and students will all find those materials variously useful.
