Book synopsis

Latin literature has accustomed us to endow the word carmen with a noble meaning – that of a poetic song, or poetry, and it is this term that Lucretius, Virgil, Horace, and all the other great poets of ancient Rome used to designate their verses. However, this book strives to remind us that it is not that simple: the word could apply to songs not at all poetic, incantations spoken by magicians, or even to chants not uttered by human voices, since carmen was also used to refer to bird songs, or even to melodies produced by a trumpet.
