Free eBooks The Student's Catullus (Oklahoma Series In Classical Culture Series) Available To Downloads
Although his audacious, erotic, and satirical verses survived the Middle Ages in only a single copy, Catullus has become in our time a canonical author, ranking in popularity and importance with Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. And for students and teachers of Latin, Daniel H. Garrison’s The Student’s Catullus is a definitive introductory text. This fourth edition, thoroughly revised, makes Catullus’ famous poems more accessible than ever. A comprehensive reference, The Student’s Catullus includes the following features: · A brief overview of Catullus’s life and artistic persona· A fresh recension of all 113 poems · A commentary in English on each poem, explaining difficult points of Latin and salient aspects of Catullus’ artistry · A Who’s Who of the people in Catullus’ poems· An explanation of Catullan meters · A glossary of literary terms used in the commentary · A complete Latin-English Catullan vocabulary · Six reference maps New to this fourth edition are dozens of additional notes to aid comprehension, more nuanced definitions in the vocabulary list, and amplified information in the appendices. In addition, Garrison has expanded his introduction to include tips for students and teachers. Drawing on years of classroom experience, Garrison urges readers to avoid rote translation and instead engage thoroughly with the poet’s delightful language, syntax, structure, and rhythm.

The back of the book was incredibly helpful. It tells you what the meter is for every poem along with some notes on some of the more difficult forms. It also contains a section reviewing all the important people you find in the poems. All in all it was a great book, although not something I'd recommend for beginners. Definitely an intermediate level book. The book takes for granted you've probably had a year of Latin or so and so you should already know the forms. There is a glossary but not all the words are there. A dictionary would be worth investing in.
Complete, in latin, text of the poet Catullus's poems. If only the glossary was just a little bit longer.
Excellent student addition. Explanatory notes are very helpful.
a good book
This tome is a gift for my nephew who is studying modern languages at Tufts University in Boston. I know that he will enjoy many hours pouring over the words between the covers
