  • Catullus 3 is a poem by Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84 – c. 54 BCE) that laments the death of a pet sparrow (passer) for which an unnamed girl (puella), possibly Catullus' lover Lesbia, had an affection. Written in hendecasyllabic meter, it is considered to be one of the most famous of Latin poems. This poem, together with Catullus' other poems, survived from antiquity in a single manuscript discovered c. 1300 CE in Verona, from which three copies survive. Fourteen centuries of copying from copies left scholars in doubt as to the poem's original wording in a few places, although centuries of scholarship have led to a consensus critical version. Research on Catullus was the first application of the genealogical method of textual criticism. In the original manuscript, Catullus 3 and Catullus 2 were parts of the same text, but the two poems were separated by scholars in the 16th century. (en)
  • Il Carme III di Catullo, noto come La morte del passero o Morte del passerotto, è il terzo carme del liber catulliano. Questo carme è legato al precedente: mentre nel secondo carme viene presentato il passero di Lesbia, in questo viene trattato il tema della sua morte. È quindi rivolto ad un più ristretto pubblico di lettori, ovvero coloro che erano già a conoscenza del carme precedente. Il carme esprime un invito al pianto (v.1 Lugete, o Veneres Cupidinesque: Piangete, o Veneri e Amori...) per la morte del passero di Lesbia, amata di Catullo, disperata appunto per la sua perdita. È evidente l'influenza della poesia dei poetae novi. (it)
