The Poems of Catullus and Tibullus and The Vigil of Venus
London: G. Bell and Sons, Ltd., 1927.
Hardcover. 7 1/4" X 4 5/8". 400pp. Moderate wear to tan clothbound boards, with light soiling and gentle bumping to corners. Toning to endpapers. Binding is sound. Contents are clean and unmarked. "A literal prose translation with notes by Walter K. Kelly to which are added the metrical versions of Lamb and Grainger and a selection of versions by other writers." A very nice collection of the poetry of these Latin poets, including Pervigilium Veneris, or The Vigil of Venus, an unattributed poem, the poems of Valerius Catullus, many of which are erotic, and the elegies of Tibullus. Very good. Item #1320
