The Poems of Catullus and Tibullus, and The Vigil of Venus is a book that contains a collection of poems by two ancient Roman poets, Catullus and Tibullus. The poems are translated into English by Walter K. Kelly. Catullus was a renowned poet of the late Roman Republic, known for his witty and often erotic poems. His work is characterized by its emotional intensity and vivid imagery. Tibullus, on the other hand, was a contemporary of Catullus but his poetry is more focused on love and romance. The Vigil of Venus is a poem by Catullus that tells the story of a young man who spends the night in a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus, hoping to win the love of his beloved. The book includes a detailed introduction by Kelly, providing context and background information about the poets and their work. In addition, the translations are accompanied by notes and annotations, helping readers to understand the meaning and significance of the poems. Overall, The Poems of Catullus and Tibullus, and The Vigil of Venus is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Roman poetry, and a must-read for fans of Catullus and Tibullus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
