Sir James Frazer (1854-1941) is best remembered today for The
Golden Bough, widely considered to be one of the most important
early texts in the fields of psychology and anthropology.
Originally a classical scholar, Frazer also published this
five-volume edition of Ovid's Fasti in 1929. It contains the text
and a parallel English translation, with commentary on the six
books, indexes, illustrations, and plans. Frazer's interest in
Ovid's unfinished final poem arose from his wide-ranging studies of
ancient literature and the origins of myth. The work describes the
origins of the Roman calendar with its sacred days, and ranges from
the deeds of major gods and heroes to the strange rites involved in
placating the goddess of mildew. Volume 5 contains indexes to the
translation and commentary, 88 plates, and maps of Rome. Other
works by Frazer are also reissued in the Cambridge Library
Collection.
