Trade Review
In this excellent and well-crafted volume, Hexter, Pfuntner, and Haynes have performed a great service for all scholars interested in the later tradition of Ovid…This volume marks an important addition to the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library. It makes accessible for the first time Latin poems circulating under Ovid’s name from antiquity to the late Middle Ages. It should be on every medievalist’s bookshelf. -- Frank Coulson * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
This volume is a welcome addition to the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library…The editors have crafted a very helpful introduction that contextualizes each of the poems and explains how medieval scribes related them to Ovid…Scholars of medieval Latin poetry will appreciate this collection of poems attributed to Ovid, which brings together in one place many otherwise obscure pieces of late antique and medieval Latin verse that share an association with the famed Roman poet. -- Scott G. Bruce * Mediaevistik *
