Specialist Notes

A very rare edition collecting the entire works of Catullus, the celebrated Roman poet of the 1st century BC. The volume contains elegies, epigrams, and poems. The work is enriched by a commentary by M. Antonius Muretus, a 16th-century humanist and scholar, who explains its meaning and highlights its stylistic beauty.
