Florilegium Poeticum: A Selection of Elegiac Extracts from Ovid and Tibullus (1877)

Florilegium Poeticum is a collection of elegiac extracts from the works of the ancient Roman poets Ovid and Tibullus. Compiled and edited by Ovid, this book presents a selection of the most beautiful and poignant poems from these two masters of Latin literature. The elegiac genre, which combines both love and loss, is a fitting choice for this collection, as it reflects the themes that are present throughout the works of Ovid and Tibullus. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section featuring extracts from Ovid's Amores and Heroides, while the second section includes selections from Tibullus' Elegies. Each poem is presented in its original Latin, with an English translation provided alongside. The book is a testament to the enduring power of these two great poets, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the elegiac tradition of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
