More about the book
For this edition of the Metamorphoses R.J. Tarrant has freshly collated the oldest fragments and manuscripts and has drawn more fully than previous editors on the twelfth-century manuscripts, the earliest extant witnesses to many potentially original readings.

This edition will be indispensable for§future study of Ovid's greatest work.
