{"product_id":"9781849667838","title":"Epigrams from the Anthologia Latina: Text,Translation and Commentary","description":"This new scholarly edition consists of the Latin text, with translation and detailed commentary, of a sequence of epigrams from the \u003ci\u003eAnthologia Latina\u003c\/i\u003e (Shackleton Bailey 78-188). The introduction discusses whether these epigrams constitute a unified collection and are the work of a single author, examines their likely date and place of composition – which, it is argued, is North Africa under Vandal rule –, and sets them in their cultural context. The line-by-line commentary covers issues of literary, linguistic and historical significance. Although text and interpretation of these pieces present frequent difficulties, the author confirms that they make up a fascinating collection of considerable importance and merit, contrary to the low reputation generally associated with the \u003ci\u003eAnthologia Latina\u003c\/i\u003e. The book will be of great interest to students of Latin literature and language in general, the epigram tradition in particular, and the culture of Vandal Africa.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140314153200,"sku":"9781849667838","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849667838_p0.jpg?v=1763752887","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849667838","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
