[ SOLD OUT ] SYME, R., History in Ovid. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978. (III),240p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. 'Those who have had the privilege to listen to Sir Ronald Syme's lectures on historical problems connected with Ovid will welcome the chance to study these arguments in published form - a will anyone else interested in the reign of Augustus.(...) There is much material here for those interested in Ovid, and especially the poetry of his exile (...). And there are many points at which S. touches upon questions of interest to historians of society or culture - though all to often he tantalizingly just points, but does not lead, the way.' (THOMAS E.J. WIEDEMANN, in The Classical Review (New Series), 1980, pp.24-25). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable) ISBN: 9780198148258
