The source of the Latin text used here is THE LATIN LIBRARY with alterations to make it conform with the Oxford Classical Text of 1900 by Renatus DuPontet.
In compiling the notes, the following editions were consulted:
Allen, J. H. and W. F., and Judson., H.P., eds. Caesar’s Gallic War. Boston: Ginn & Company, 1892.
Anthon, Charles. Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War and the First Book of the Greek Paraphrase. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1862.
Dinter, Bernard, ed. Commentarii cum A. Hirti Aliorumque Supplementis. Leipzig: B. G. Teubner, 1876.
Finch, James B., ed. Caesar’s Gallic War: Book I. New York: Hinds & Noble, 1898.
Greenough, James B., D’Ooge, Benjamin L., Daniell, M. Grant. Caesar’s Gallic War. Boston: Ginn & Company Publishers, 1900.
Harkness, Albert, ed. Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War. New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1883.
Harper, William Rainey and Tolman, Herbert Cushing, eds. Four Books of Caesar’s Gallic War. New York: American Book Company, 1908.
Hodges, A. L., ed. Caesar: The Gallic War. New York: The MacMillan Company, 1909.
Kelsey, Francis W. Caesar’s Commentaries. New York: Allyn and Bacon, 1918.
Merryweather, J. H. and Tancock, C. C., eds. De Bello Gallico. London: Rivingtons, 1879.
Moberly, Charles E., ed. The Gallic War. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1878. Latin text with notes at the end. Assumes good vocabulary, but often helps with translation. “Pro multitudine, ‘considering the extent of their population’; angustos is a predicate; ‘considering that the territories which they occupied were too narrow.’” (p. 211 = p. 252 of the .pdf) Good for intermediate or advanced.
Peskett, A. G., ed. De Bello Gallico: Commentarius Sextus. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1882.
Rice Holmes, T., ed. Commentarii Rerum in Gallia Gestarum. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1914.Latin text with commentary at the foot of the page, mostly historical and textual, by a great historian of the period. Assumes good Latin, but does give some translation help. “Gallia . . . divisa. Notice the order of the words. They must not be translated ‘All Gaul is divided’, which is not only hideous but wrong. The meaning is ‘Gaul, taken as a whole, is divided.’” For advanced students, or teachers.
Spencer, J. A., ed. Commentaries on the Gallic War. New York: D. Appleton & Company, 1848.
Stock, St. George, ed. De Bello Gallico. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1898. Intelligent grammatical and historical notes at the foot of the page for the upper intermediate or advanced student. "Cum iis. Used for 'secum' for the sake of clearness, owing to the 'suis' preceding. Boiosque. It is not known what was the relation of this small tribe to the Boii of Cisalpine Gaul" (p. 13 = p. 266 of the .pdf).
Towle, Harry F. and Jenks, Paul R., eds. Caesar’s Gallic War. Boston: D. C. Heath & co., 1909. Concise notes, but includes full vocabulary in the back, list of verbs by chapter with principal parts, and an extensive appendix that is a comprehensive review of Latin grammar and syntax with Caesar in mind (pp. 135–202 = pp. 292–359 in the .pdf). The notes often simply direct the reader to this appendix, or to the vocabulary, so this book would need to be used as whole.
Walker, Arthur Tappan, ed.. Caesar’s Gallic War. Chicago: Scott, Foresman and Company, 1907. Latin text with macrons and extensive vocabulary and notes at the foot of the page. Would be appropriate for lower intermediate.
