Abstract
This little late-antique poem has received considerable attention recently, with several
editions appearing over the course of the twentieth century, the latest by Formicola in
1998. Cucchiarelli’s new edition thus has a lot of competition, and a lot of work to do
to advance the scholarship on the Pervigilium Veneris. In this C. succeeds admirably
by producing a very thorough and scholarly pocket edition, which at just 167 pages
achieves considerably more than could reasonably be expected, including in
particular a highly detailed commentary.
