LIVY AND HORACE
SELECTIONS FROM LIVY, $1.50
Edited by HARRY E. BURTON, Ph.D., Professor of Latin, Dartmouth College. Text Edition, $0.35
These selections are intended to give a more comprehensive idea of Livy’s genius and versatility than can be had from the reading of any one or two books, and also to provide material dealing with the more significant and interesting periods of the early history of Rome. The passages are varied in nature, and are not confined to military history; they are not so short as to appear fragmentary. Each subject is presented in a series of continuous chapters, the notes supplying introductory and explanatory material for a proper understanding of the period. There is a comprehensive introduction, and a complete system of cross-reference.
HORACE. ODES, EPODES, AND CARMEN SAECULARE, $1.50
Edited by CLIFFORD H. MOORE, Ph.D., Professor of Latin, Harvard University. Text Edition, $0.40
While elementary matters have not been neglected in this edition, particular attention has been devoted to the literary side of Horace’s work, and to his literary relations. The introduction, besides dealing with the poet’s life and writings, discusses his lyric metres and peculiarities of syntax. The commentary is not limited to the baldest aids, but is intended to give such assistance in interpretation as may help students to some appreciation of Horace’s art and charm. The relation of the poet to his Greek models, and especially his influence on subsequent Latin literature, are clearly shown.
