Carmina Expurgata (1728) [Latin]

By Horace

Book Overview

Carmina Expurgata est opus Horatii, poetae Romani, quod anno MDCCXXVIII editum est. In hoc libro, Horatius poesis suae carmina expurgat, ut censurae Romanae auctoritati obtemperet. Carmina Horatii sunt in hoc libro variis modis mutata, ut obscenitatem et impietatem vitent. Interdum, locutiones sunt mutatae, et interdum, versus sunt deleti. Tamen, poesis Horatii, quamvis mutata, adhuc pulchra est et digna admiratione. Carmina Expurgata est opus significativum, quod Romanam censuram et poesim Horatii illustrat.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
