Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Buchrücken ausgebleicht, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Spine faded, otherwise perfect condition - A Poundian figure who summed up the possibilities of a new era's response to an old and rich poetic tradition, Callimachus (ca. 305 B.C.-ca. 240 B.C.) was the first learned scholar-poet in Western literature. -- The leading poet of the Alexandrian school, Callimachus served as a model to Vergil, Catullus, Propertius, and Ovid. With remarkable grace and sensitivity to nuance, Stanley Lombardo and Diane Rayor provide the first translation of Callimachus's works into the American poetic idiom. Lombardo and Rayor translate the six hymns and sixty-one epigrams that are the only complete extant poems of a writer credited with having produced some eight hundred books in his lifetime. In addition, they offer a generous selection from among the surviving fragments, including the prologue and selected passages from the Aetia ("The Origins"), Callimachus's greatest achievement in narrative verse. Their annotations elucidate the poet's rich mythological allusions,- an introduction places Callimachus within his cultural and poetic contexts.
