Abstract

Throughout the last decades, researchers of the history of the reception of classical authors have paid particular attention to the study of Ovid’s influence. The enormous impact the large and varied body of the poet’s work had had on later centuries is a richly illuminated topic. The classical poet has been widely used as an authoritative source of philosophical or scientific information relating to the most varied of topics. In these cases an exploration from the context of the history of philosophy or of science could be worthwile. Fruitful research can also be conducted in the field of art history, as Ovidian topics have always provide inspiration to book illuminators and all other visual artists. Compared to international results, the study of Ovid’s reception in early modern Hungarian literature is largely unexplored . By collecting data regarding printed editions, the manuscript tradition and translations of the Ovidian corpus, I mean to explore the lesser-known aspects of the classical poet’s historical reception.
