Book Description

May 6, 2004 0198146663 978-0198146667
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.

Invincible! December 10, 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Formidabilis! It's always the adjective which pops out in my mind every time I'm so lucky to read Ovidius in Latin. Here have I finally bought the ultimate and best critical edition of this masterpiece and now my life has changed forever! I'll never miss one single day of my life without reading a passage a day from this best book of the last two millennia.
