Ralph Hexter is Distinguished Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Davis. Laura Pfuntner is a Lecturer in Ancient History at Queen’s University Belfast. Justin Haynes is a postdoctoral scholar in Classics at the University of California, Davis.
In this excellent and well-crafted volume, Hexter, Pfuntner, and
Haynes have performed a great service for all scholars interested
in the later tradition of Ovid…This volume marks an important
addition to the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library. It makes
accessible for the first time Latin poems circulating under Ovid’s
name from antiquity to the late Middle Ages. It should be on every
medievalist’s bookshelf.
*Bryn Mawr Classical Review*
This volume is a welcome addition to the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval
Library…The editors have crafted a very helpful introduction that
contextualizes each of the poems and explains how medieval scribes
related them to Ovid…Scholars of medieval Latin poetry will
appreciate this collection of poems attributed to Ovid, which
brings together in one place many otherwise obscure pieces of late
antique and medieval Latin verse that share an association with the
famed Roman poet.
