Sex. Aurelii Propertii Elegiarum Libri Quattuor, Volumes 1-2 [Latin]

By Propertius

This is a scholarly edition of the elegies of Sextus Propertius, a major poet of ancient Rome. This two-volume set, edited by Wilhelm Adolf Boguslaw Hertzberg, presents the four books of Propertius's elegies in their original Latin. Propertius is known for his passionate and complex love poetry, particularly his elegies dedicated to his mistress, Cynthia. His work provides invaluable insights into Roman society, culture, and the personal experiences of love and loss during the Augustan age.

This edition would be an important resource for students and scholars of Latin literature, Roman history, and classical poetry. The elegies of Propertius offer a window into the emotional and intellectual landscape of ancient Rome and remain relevant for their exploration of universal themes of love, desire, and the human condition. This edition supports the continued study and appreciation of one of Rome's most influential poets.
