Note: Elegant XVIIIᵉ century edition of the Œuvres galantes et amoureuses by Ovid, a major Latin poet of antiquity, whose texts devoted to love and the passions have spanned the centuries. Through his writings, Ovid finely explores the games of seduction, the torments of desire and the lightness of feelings, in a language imbued with poetry and wit.
Published in Geneva in 1777, this edition is in the tradition of small, refined formats designed for intimate reading. The gilt edges and meticulous presentation testify to the XVIIIᵉ century taste for elegant works, often appreciated as collectors' items as much as for their literary content.
Despite the marks of time, these two volumes retain all the charm of antique books and the appeal of a classic text, appreciated for its modernity and lasting influence. An attractive set for lovers of antique literature and bibliophily.
