2008réf. 40467Oxford University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Hardcover. Very Minor shelfwear to DJ.; Increasing importance is being attached to how Greek and Latin books of poems were arranged but such research has often been carried out with little attention to the physical fragments of actual ancient poetry-books. In this extensive study Gregory Hutchinson investigates the design of Greek and Latin books of poems in the light of papyri including recent discoveries. A series of discussions of major poems and collections from two central periods of Greek and Latin literature is framed by a substantial and illustrated survey of poetry-books and reading and by a more theoretical discussion of structures involving books. The main poets discussed are Callimachus Apollonius Posidippus Catullus Horace and Ovid; a chapter on Latin didactic includes Lucretius Virgil Ovid and Manilius.; 21.6 X 14 X 2.06 centimeters; 348 pages . 2008. 0199279411 .
