Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Latin Anthology is a compilation of Latin verses with an emphasis on Carthaginian texts of the 6th century, originally published by Pieter Burmann the Younger (1713 – 1778). It was compiled from a number of Carolingian manuscripts, particularly the Codex Salmasianus, BNF MS Paris. Lat. 10318 circa 800 CE, and the Anthologia Vossianus, Leiden MS Lat. Q. 86, circa 850 CE. While the Greek Anthology was first compiled by the ancient Greek poet, Meleager of Gadara in the first century BC, the ancient Romans did not compile their own Latin Anthology. However, there were volumes of epigrams, such as those compiled by Martial between 95 and 98. There were also compilations of brief sententiae from authors such as Publilius Syrus (fl. 85–43 BC), along with smaller groupings of verse on specialized subjects, such as the Priapeia (circa 100).
