GRANAROLO, J., D'Ennius à Catulle. Recherches sur les antécédents romains de la 'poésie nouvelle'. Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 10971. 427p. Original red cloth with rhodoïd cover. Reading ribbon. Cover damaged. Some light and erasable pencil markings, annotations and underlinings. ’D’Ennius à Catulle’ seeks to identify Catullus’ debt to earlier Roman poetry. The book is presented as a historical preface to the author’s earlier ‘L’oeuvre de Catulle (Paris, 1967). Its chief merit lies in the study of Laevius, which occupies half the book and thus considerably broadens the scope of Leo’s standard account (Hermes 49 [1914], 180-88). The author discusses previous scholarship at length and subjects details of Laevius’ diction and meter to intimate scrutiny.’ (E.D. FRANCIS in American Journal of Philology, 1973, p. 386). € 65.00 (Antiquarian)
