Keywords Christopher Harant of Polžice and Bezdružice; Old Bohemian Travelogue; Publius Ovidius Naso; Quotations
Description The paper deals with the reception of the personality and work of Publius Ovidius Naso in the travelogue of Christopher Harant (1608). In the travelogue, Ovid appears only as a quotation authority, not a historical personality (in contrast to other ancient authors). The paper analyzes Harant's quotations from Ovid with regard to their form and content, and also discusses the question how likely it is that Harant actually worked with Ovid's works and did not take the information from other sources.
