Catullus Carmen 17.6 and other mysteries : a study in editorial conflict, eccentricity, forgery, and restitution : with a checklist of significant printed editions of Catullus in Latin, 1472-2005 /
Freeman, Arthur,1938-author.
"This partly historical, partly philological essay offers a general account of the early preservation, post-medieval recovery, and Renaissance evolution of the text of Catullus, with specific reference to one speculative reading in Carmen 17 ('De Colonia'), and certain humanist twists and forgeries that accompanied its long editorial history. Accompanying the narrative is a substantial bibliographical appendix that provides a checklist of significant editions of Catullus in Latin from 1475 to the present day, with brief notes of relevance and location"--Distributor's website.
