Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Metamorphoses, Vol. 1: Or Golden Ass of Apuleius of Madaura As a basis for this translation I have used the excellent text by Helm published by Messrs. Teubner in their series of Classical Texts, and I am indebted to them for their permission to make such use of it. On rare occasions when I have diverged from the text, I have indicated in a footnote the reading preferred. Not a few expurgations have been necessary, and in one case, where the offending passage is one on which the plot actually turns, it has been necessary to rewrite the story to the extent of a few lines of print. I can only trust that such a liberty may not be regarded as unwarrantable, and on the other hand that nothing has been retained in the translation which can reasonably cause offence. The authorities to whom I am chiefly indebted are duly mentioned in the Introduction. I wish, however, specially to record my debt to Hildebrand´s commentary, and also to a very limited extent to the vivacious French translation by Victor Bétolaud, which has been of occasional service in indicating the best method of breaking up the almost interminable sentences in which Apuleius not infrequently indulges.
