{"product_id":"apuleius-antonio-stramaglia-9780198940081","title":"Apuleius: Fragmentary Works (Apulei Madaurensis Operum Deperditorum Reliquiae)","description":"This edition of Apuleius's fragmentary works includes 62 items which, based on the most up-to-date scholarship, can be attributed with reasonable certainty to the 'lost Apuleius'. In most cases, identifying the\u003cem\u003e ipsissima verba\u003c\/em\u003e of the author is difficult or impossible, and even the methodological validity of such an attempt remains open to debate. Following established precedents, no distinction is drawn between \u003cem\u003etestimonia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003efragmenta\u003c\/em\u003e; instead, a single consecutive numbering system is adopted for the various \u003cem\u003ereliquiae\u003c\/em\u003e. These are drawn from sources in Latin and Greek, as well as in Syriac, Arabic, and Armenian. Passages known from oriental languages are presented here in a Latin back-translation, specially prepared for this edition. Each entry includes a pre-apparatus (wherever applicable) and a selective but meticulous \u003cem\u003eapparatus criticus\u003c\/em\u003e. For certain Greek and Latin sources still lacking a reliable modern edition, the principal relevant manuscripts have been reexamined. This edition is further enriched by 161 purported 'new fragments' of Apuleius embedded in Niccolò Perotti's \u003cem\u003eCornu Copiae\u003c\/em\u003e, a hitherto scarcely accessible set of dubious items which merit greater scholarly attention. An extensive \u003cem\u003epraefatio\u003c\/em\u003e (in Latin) surveys all the works either lost or falsely attributed to Apuleius, while also detailing the principles and methods underlying this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio Stramaglia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198940084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198940081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Antonio Stramaglia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47304752398591,"sku":"9780198940081","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d444de66-b603-4d70-9d96-60017af55a57.jpg?v=1758829063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apuleius-antonio-stramaglia-9780198940081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
