Tibullus: A Commentary. Putnam, Michael C. J. and Michael C. J. Putnam:

Exlibris auf Vorsatz, in gutes und sauberes Exemplar / Bookplate on endpaper, in good and clean copy - The work of the Latin elegiac poet Tibullus ( c. 55-19 b.c. ) is characterized by an artful, witty “simplicity,” and it relies on repetition, ambiguity, irony, and paradox for its effect. His poetry appealed to his countrymen in his own time, as it still does to students today, and this textbook is designed to explain and enhance that appeal. -- The commentary presented here is limited to the sixteen poems which comprise the first two books of the corpus Tibullianum, that is, to poems authentically by Tibullus. The notes focus on the needs of students approaching Latin elegy for the first time, but they will also prove useful to the more experienced student of Latin or to scholars in other languages.
