Hardcover. The poems of Catullus have notoriously been subjected to numerous accidental corruptions. This work represents a reappraisal of his text. It recommends some 600 changes to the Oxford Text of "R A B Mynors". It suggests that Catullus' text was also subjected to significant deliberate change, much of it probably dating back to classical antiquity. Num Pages: 316 pages.
