Book II is especially suitable for the reader wanting a representative selection of Propertius' poetry. It stands on its own, having appeared in the first place as a separate collection; it reflects a distinct phase of the poet's activity (and of his emotional development); and it is the book which made his reputation. This edition is designed for the pocket of the university student, but it should find a wider audience among classicists of all ages. The introduction provides the necessary historical and critical background and relates Book II to the rest of the elegies; the notes are helpful and to the point; and the text has a reasonable minimum of apparatus. There are no modern editions of this size and scope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Introduction; Variants from the Oxford text; Sigla; Sexti Properti Elegiarum Liber II; Notes.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767599661399,"sku":"9780521109475","price":29.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780521109475.jpg?v=1758713951","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/propertius-elegies-book-ii-9780521109475","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
