About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BC), presented in the original Latin.

This is the complete public-domain Latin text in the language it was written — not a translation. What Hermitsh Press adds is the editorial apparatus around it: the glossary, cross-references, and notes.

What's here

Omne carmen a Catullo relictum — centum sedecim omnino — ex sermone Latino redditum et ordine canonico dispositum. Collectio praefationem habet quae rem gerendam praeparat, optionem textus Latini paralleli, et apparatum indicis nominum ac locorum inter se relatorum, qui carmina et inter se et cum fontibus suis coniungit.

The original Latin

These pages present Gaius Valerius Catullus's words in the Latin they were written in, drawn from open scholarly sources. The text is reproduced unaltered — this edition is the original, not one of our translations. Only the glossary, cross-references, and notes are Hermitsh Press's editorial apparatus.
