1533 OVID Works Ars Amatoria ALDINE + 1537 Catullus Lesbia Tibullus Gryphium 2n1

An exceedingly rare and unique pairing of two 16^th-century printings of classical literature! This book contains a 1533 printing of the works of Ovid as well as a 1537 edition of Catullus.

Ovid is mostly remembered for his work “Metamorphoses”, but he wrote numerous other epic poems including ancient mythology including Heroides, and Ars Amatoria both of which are included in this Aldine volume of Ovid.

Catullus was a 1^st-century BC Roman poet whose poetry differed from most poets who simply wrote of mythological and classical heroes. Catullus’ poetry is primarily a look into his personal life and his love for a woman named Lesbia through the lens of eroticism, sarcasm, and bizarre obscenity. Catullus speaks out against other pursuers and lovers of Lesbia, as well as poetry about his friends, politicians, and infamous promiscuous women.
