Catullus: Poemata And Elegia, Sublata Obscenitate
Roman poetry can range from the elegiac to the perfectly scatological. Catullus (84-54 BC) is a perfect example of this diversity of tone. Here the book seller will have retained only the polite and delicate side, forgetting the horrors written about his enemies (Mamurra, Caesar's favorite nicknamed "Mentula" is not forgotten). The book offered here is a duodecimo, ideal for slipping into a pocket, covered with vellum skin and closed with leather laces. It is a Latin edition of 1615, by Johannis. Small detachment inside easily repairable, otherwise good condition.
