ISBN: 0198146663 ISBN-13: 9780198146667 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA OUR PRICE: $70.30 Product Type: Hardcover Published: May 2004 Annotation: 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. |
