In this excellent and well-crafted volume, Hexter, Pfuntner and Haynes have performed a great service for all scholars interested in the later tradition of Ovid. The Appendix Ovidiana brings together for the first time 34 Latin poems written from Late Antiquity to the late Middle Ages whose authorship is credited to Ovid in the manuscript tradition but not by modern editors. The title is perhaps a little deceptive in that very few of these poems circulated together during the Middle Ages, as was the case in the so-called Appendix Virgiliana. The resulting collection is perforce rather a grab bag, ranging from the short Words for Pan, which is really a long string of adjectives describing the deity, to the voluminous de Vetula (On the Old Woman), undoubtedly the most famous and widely-read piece in the collection. Some of the poems are already quite well known to scholars of Ovid. Two poems, the Halieutica, here given the title Versus de piscibus et feris, and the Nux, are still attributed to Ovid by some scholars, while the Consolatio ad Liviam is now judged to be an Ovidian imitation dating to the first century. The remarkable range of genre and style displayed in the collection sets a very high bar for our translators, but they have accomplished their task with generally very favorable results.

"The present volume brings together virtually all surviving Latin poems that were ascribed to Ovid between roughly 500 and 1500. The majority of these were composed in the Middle Ages, but some are classical in origin. All, however, were at least once attributed to Ovid, even if today's scholarly consensus labels them inauthentic and so designates them as pseudo-Ovidiana. This body of poetry, then, reflects medieval understandings of the greatly admired classical poet, expanding and developing Ovid's legacy"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
