Review

The submission, titled "O quarto livro de Propércio," addresses a significant and perennially fascinating subject within classical studies. Propertius's Book IV is indeed recognized as a capstone of his poetic career, reflecting his mature artistry and containing some of his most complex and celebrated elegies. The abstract correctly identifies these key aspects, highlighting the book's importance as a work of maturity and its inclusion of frequently studied poems. However, its extreme brevity unfortunately renders it largely insufficient for a comprehensive and meaningful review of the paper's content. Critically, the abstract fails to convey the most essential information required for a scholarly assessment: the paper's central argument, its methodology, or its specific contributions to the existing scholarship on Propertius. It offers no insight into which particular elegies within Book IV the author focuses on, what new interpretations are offered, what literary or historical questions are explored, or what theoretical framework, if any, guides the analysis. Without any indication of the paper's scope, its thesis, the evidence it marshals, or the scholarly debate it aims to engage with, it is impossible to evaluate its originality, its rigor, or its potential impact on the field. To enable a proper evaluation of this submission, the author must provide a substantially revised and expanded abstract. This new abstract should clearly delineate the paper's specific focus within Propertius's Book IV, articulate its primary argument or research question, briefly describe the methodology employed, and state its main findings or conclusions. An effective abstract would allow reviewers and future readers to understand the paper's academic contribution, its relevance to current scholarship, and its potential value to the study of Latin elegy. As it stands, the abstract merely introduces the subject matter without illuminating the paper's specific intervention or analysis.
