About this title

Review

An authoritative and up-to-date...text and a translation that communicates accurately and clearly the meaning of the Latin.--Michael Roberts "New England Classical Newsletter & Journal "

From the Back Cover

Catullus, of Verona, went early to Rome, where he associated not only with other literary men form Cisalpine Gaul but also with Cicero and Hortensius. Tibullus, of equestrian rank and a friend of Horace, enjoyed the patronage of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus, whom he several times apostrophizes. The Pervigilium Veneris, a poem of not quite a hundred lines celebrating a spring festival in honor of the goddess of love, is remarkable both for its romanticism which transformed classical into medieval literature.
