When does imitation of an author morph into masquerade? Although
the Roman writer Ovid died in the first century CE, many new Latin
poems were ascribed to him from the sixth until the fifteenth
century. Like the Appendix Vergiliana, these verses reflect
different understandings of an admired Classical poet and expand
his legacy throughout the Middle Ages. The works of the "medieval
Ovid" mirror the dazzling variety of their original. The Appendix
Ovidiana includes narrative poetry that recounts the adventures of
both real and imaginary creatures, erotic poetry that wrestles with
powerful desires and sexual violence, and religious poetry
that-despite the historical Ovid's paganism-envisions the birth,
death, and resurrection of Christ. This is the first comprehensive
collection and English translation of these pseudonymous medieval
Latin poems.
