These vernacular translations, together with the glosses, commentaries, and illustrations that frequently accompanied them, are the object of study of this collective volume. \u003cem\u003eOvid in the Vernacular \u003c\/em\u003ecovers eight linguistic areas (English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Greek) and offers new insights about the way in which each of these emerging vernacular cultures appropriated and transformed this Latin poem through words and images. At the same time, this book looks beyond national and linguistic borders and retraces the circulation of textual and non-textual elements of the vernacular Ovid across Europe, connecting different literary traditions. This volume overcomes the perceived division between Middle and Early Modern Ages, and charts continuities and discontinuities between these two historical periods, addressing the influence of manuscript culture and print culture on the re-fashioning of Ovid.
