Description: Here is a hardcover volume from Cambridge University Press titled PROPERTIUS, ELEGIES, BOOK I, edited by W. A. Camps. Contains Latin text with notes/commentary. Propertius, though his works are small in volume, is one of the foremost poets of the Augustan age, and his writing has a certain appeal to modern tastes (witness the admiration of Ezra Pound). Book I is especially suitable for the reader wanting a representative selection of Propertius' poetry. It stands on its own, having appeared in the first place as a separate collection; it reflects a distinct phase of the poet's activity (and of his emotional development); and it is the book which made his reputation. This edition is designed for the pocket of the university student, but it should find a wider audience among classicists of all ages. The introduction provides the necessary historical and critical background and relates Book I to the rest of the elegies; the notes are helpful and to the point; and the text has a reasonable minimum of apparatus. There are no modern editions of this size and scope. Preface Introduction Variants from the Oxford text Sigla Sexti properti elegiarum liber I Notes Addenda. This volume might be of interest to the students of Greek and Latin Classics, critical editions, history of Rhetoric, Greece and Rome, Classical Texts, Library Reference, Loeb. Please see my other auctions for more books in philosophy, theology, classics, and biblical studies. Thank you.
