The Oxford Book Of Latin Verse From The Earliest Fragments To The End Of The Vth Century Ad PDF Download

Excerpt from The Oxford Book Of Latin Verse: From The Earliest Fragments To The End Of The Vth Century A. D I have spent a good deal of labour on the revision of texts: and I hope that of some poems, particularly the less known poems, this book may be found to offer a purer recension than is available elsewhere. I owe it to myself, however, to say that I have sometimes preferred the con venience of the reader to the dictates of a rigorous criticism. I have thought it, for example, not humane to variegate the text of an Anthology with despairing abe/ì and occasionally I have covered up an indubitable lacuna by artifices which I trust may pass undetected by the general reader and unreproved by the charitable critic.
