Poete erudit et feru de mythologie, Properce ne nous a pas laisse d’autres traces que ses uvres. Fort heureusement, celles-ci ne sont pas exemptes de renseignements biographiques. La sphragis, c’est-a-dire la signature, du livre I, nous apprend que Sextius Propertius serait ne en Ombrie, non loin d’Assise. Plus tard, a Rome, il rejoint le cercle de Mecene dont il est, apres des poetes aussi illustres que Virgile et Horace, le protege. Ce n’est pourtant ni vers l’epopee, ni vers la satire que le poete se tourne, mais vers l’elegie. Celles-ci sont adressees a la belle Cynthia, dont la chevelure flamboyante et les allures de deesse enflamment le poete d’un amour aussi brulant que decu. De Cynthia, a la beaute parfaite et au cur volage, nous ignorons si elle a existe. Fruits de l’experience ou de l’imagination, les vers de Properce restent un exemple penetrant du genre de l’elegie, encore balbutiant a cette epoque de la litterature latine. Notre edition rassemble en un volume les quatre livres des Elegies de Properce. L’introduction fait le point sur les differents elements biographiques presents dans l’uvre de Properce ainsi que sur les conclusions qui en ont ete tirees. Les nombreuses hypotheses relatives a l’identite de Cynthia sont brievement exposees, de meme que celles concernant la date de composition du recueil. Les sources, explicites et implicites sont analysees en profondeur, tandis qu’est proposee une reflexion sur le genre elegiaque. L’histoire de la tradition manuscrite est relatee en detail et assortie d’une bibliographie recente et succincte. Le lecteur desireux d’approfondir trouvera, en fin d’ouvrage des notes eclairant, entre autres, les nombreuses allusions mythologiques, ainsi qu’un index.
