By Claude Saumaise, Justus Lipsius, Pierre Pithou

This volume presents the "Pervigilium Veneris" with extensive annotations from prominent classical scholars. Included are the notes of Pierre Pithou and Justus Lipsius, alongside those of Claude Salmasius and Pieter Schrijver, drawn from a separate ancient codex. Andreas Rivinus provides a comprehensive commentary. Also featured is Ausonius' "Cupido Cruci Adfixus," accompanied by the notes of Mariangelo Accorso. This edition offers a deep dive into one of Latin literature's most enigmatic and beautiful poems, exploring its themes and nuances through the lens of distinguished 16th- and 17th-century scholarship. A valuable resource for students and scholars of classical literature and Latin poetry.
