Cambridge, Massachusetts:: Harvard University Press, 2001.. Later printing, corrected.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: red cloth with gilt; a Fine book, with a Fine dust jacket.. 16mo (about 6.5 inches tall) . Description: This is Volume 44 in the Loeb Classical Library series. First printed in this form in 1989, this is a later printing, corrected. The Latin and English versions are presented side by side. This is the first book in a two-volume edition of The Golden Ass, the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to have survived in its entirety. Note that in earlier issues of the Loeb Library, Volume 44 was also for The Golden Ass, but that was a one-volume edition; the version used was a revision of the 1566 English translation by W Adlington. This new translation was commissioned by the editors of this series, and completed in 1983, but was not published until 1989, four years after the translator died (thus no translator's preface). This edition of the Loeb Library issued the works of Apuleius in two volumes.
