Salvete Omnes!
I'm posting to inquire as to which is the best beginning edition to start reading libri Caesaris Commentarii de bello gallico?
I have a few editions in mind, one based on my need of a crutch grammatically so to speak, and the second because of my desire to have all seven books in one bound volume.
My first inclination was to obtain the Bristol Classical Press edition, though this edition is pricey considering it includes only one book per binding. Yet this has copious grammatical and syntactical analysis.
My second thought was to the Loeb Classical Library edition, Latin/English edition, yet this is bereft of any grammar/syntax help.
I'm just curious which edition was most helpful to those who initiated Caesar in the beginning of their second year learning latin.
Currently I'm reading a few works, including the Breviarium ab urbe condita, liber tertius, yet I'm looking to move on to Caesar afterwards.
Many thanks!
