Description
The Integumenta Ovidii: A Medieval Poet's Allegorical Vision. John of Garland's Integumenta Ovidii is a dense and allusive poem that explores the Greek and Roman myths in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Written in early thirteenth-century Paris, this work showcases the scholar-poet's unique vision and skill in conveying complex ideas through allegory. For the first time in 90 years, this important but challenging text is now available in a new edition, accompanied by comprehensive explanatory notes and textual analysis. These features help readers to understand John's condensed allegories within their medieval context, making this work accessible to both scholars and enthusiasts of classical literature.
