Description

Originally published in 1933, this book contains the Latin text of Milton's Epitaphium Damonis, alongside a rhyming English translation by Walter Skeat, done in honour of the late scholar Israel Gollancz. Skeat reproduces the version of the poem found in a pamphlet belonging to the British Museum with minimal editorial notes, with the exception of small typographical corrections. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Milton's Latin poetry.
