Ovid: Amores Book II Summary

Ovid: Amores Book II by Edited and Joan Booth (Opleidind Griekse en Latijnse Taal (Netherlands))

Ovid's three books of personal love elegies are arguably his most attractive work. In this acclaimed edition of Amores Book II, Joan Booth offers a Latin text with parallel prose translation and on each poem, or pair of poems, a critical essay written especially for the reader with little or no Latin. For the more advanced scholars she also provides a traditional line by line commentary on the Latin text and a generously select apparatus criticus.

Ovid: Amores Book II Reviews
