Paperback. Condition: New. Composed around 1250 by an unknown author in the region of Orléans, the Vulgate Commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses is the most widely disseminated and reproduced medieval work on Ovid's epic compendium of classical mythology and materialist philosophy. This commentary both preserves the rich store of twelfth-century glossing on the Metamorphoses and incorporates new material of literary interest, while the marginal glosses in many respects reflect the scholar interests of an early thirteenth-century schoolmaster. The Vulgate Commentary is always transmitted as a series of interlinear and marginal glosses surrounding the text manuscript, whereas other earlier commentaries were independent of a full text of the poem. The Vulgate Commentary exercised a wide-ranging influence on the understanding and presentation of Ovid's Metamorphoses in the High Middle Ages and Renaissance, and the commentary exists in both French and Italian manuscripts.…

Reprint. Condition: Gut. pp. 321-322. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: The 'Vulgate' commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses, composed in the Orléanais, possibly at the cathedral school at Orléans ca. 1250, may be considered the most influential set of glosses preserved on the epic from the High Middle Ages. To date, eighteen complete or fragmentary manuscripts of the text have been identified which document the circulation and dissemination of the text during the later thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. A recently discovered partially preserved text of the commentary written into the margins of an incunabulum of the Metamorphoses in the British Library now demonstrates that the commentary was still being read as late as 1475 and that humanistic readers of the poem considered it significant enough to copy into their printed editions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Comprising fifteen books and over two hundred and fifty myths, Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the longest extant Latin poems from the ancient world and one of the most influential works in Western culture.

This, the first complete commentary in English, covers all aspects of the text - from textual interpretation to poetics, imagination, and ideology - and will be useful as a teaching aid and an orientation for those who are interested in the text and its reception.
