Papinius Statius (ca. 45-96) is the author of two epics (the Thebaid and the unfinished Achilleid) and a large corpus of occasional verse ( Silvae).

Brill, 1969. — viii, 121 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 8).

Cambridge University Press, 2014. — 306 p. This book explores Lucan's highly original deployment of contradictory Greco-Roman stereotypes about Egypt (utopian vs. xenophobic) as a means of reflecting on the violent tensions within his own society (conservatism vs. Caesarism).

The Catholic University of America Press, 2022. — 250 p. — (Studies In Early Christianity).

Brill, 2000. — xii, 316 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 204).

Catullus' own social background, the circumstances of the literary life of his time, the...
E.J. Brill., 1968. — 60 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 10). This monograph presents two related sets of data. The first concerns the critical literary theory, "levels of intent," developed by scholars of the poetry of Catullus. Although it is a useful theory, it cannot be applied to all of Catullus' poems, and leads to ignoring certain of his poems. The second objective of this...
