Antique Book, Ovid's Art of Love, English
![](http://staticaz.antiquesatlas.com/images/loading_new.gif)
Our Stock # 24244
This is antique copy of Ovid's Art of Love. An English translation of a Roman elegy, dating to the Regency period, dated 1824.
Originally written in Latin in 2 AD, Ars Amatoria - Art of Love in English - is an elegy across three sections. The first is written as a guide for a Roman gentleman to find a partner, with book two giving instruction on how to keep her. The final book reverses the narrative and instructs women how to keep a man. The text is written as if to entertain, being ironic, but never obscene. The writer, Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid in English) was a Roman poet during the reign of Augustus.
Charmingly petite form, with fascinating ancient content translated for the modern reader
Displays a desirable aged patina, lightly time worn but intact
Bound in a textured canvas on board and accentuated with gilt titling
Illustrated frontispiece opposite title page, dated to the bottom 1824
Translated by notable writers such as Dryden and Congreve
Presented in English from the original Latin text across 238+ pages
