Ott's metrical analyses and Vergil?

[Neven Jovanovic]

Dear list,

in your opinion, how did Wilhelm Ott's metrical analyses of Vergil's
poetry influence Vergilian studies, especially scholarship on the
Eclogues? I have in mind Ott's work from the 70's, such as Ott,
Wilhelm. 1978. Metrische Analysen zu Vergil, Bucolica. @Materialien zu
Metrik und Stilistik, 9. Tübingen: Niemeyer? A preliminary search on
Google Scholar and Google Book Search shows Ott mentioned mostly in
literature on literary computing, and (unsurprisingly) in German
classical studies.

What does the list think?

Yours,

Neven
