About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BC), translated in a single voice with the Latin alongside.

What's here

Every poem Catullus left — 116 carmina in all — translated from the Latin and presented in their canonical order. The collection carries a headnote setting the scene, an optional Latin-parallel toggle, and an apparatus of named-entity glossary and cross-references linking the poems to one another and to their sources.

From the Latin

Every translation was produced by reading the Latin text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Latin comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index opens the collection; the chronology places Catullus's short life and the poems' likely occasions on a timeline. The glossary is the named-entity registry — every person, place, and deity the poems invoke. Search spans the whole corpus.
