Ars Amatoria

This book is part of Ørberg’s Lingua Latina per se Illustrata course.
It is an adapted edition of Ovid’s Ars Amatoria, with marginal notes in Latin explaining difficult passages and words not included in the first XL chapters of the course (Part 1 and 5 first chapters of Part II).
Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) is a poem in three books by Ovid. The first two books consist of instructions to men on the wooing of women of easy virtue; the third, of instructions to woman on seduction of men. The work is full of humor and charm, and contains interesting glimpses of Roman life and manners — the circus, the theatre, the banquet. It was perhaps partly on account of its immorality that Augustus banished the poet to Tomi by the Black Sea.
