P. Ovidi Nasonis Metamorphoses

Informationen zum Autor R. J. Tarrant is Pope Professor of the Latin Language and Literature at Harvard University. Klappentext For this edition of the Metamorphoses R.J. Tarrant has freshly collated the oldest fragments and manuscripts and has drawn more fully than previous editors on the twelfth-century manuscripts, the earliest extant witnesses to many potentially original readings. He has also given more scope to conjecture than other recent editors, and has been readier than his predecessors to identify certain verses as interpolated. This edition will be indispensable for future study of Ovid's greatest work.
