-Lettre du 4 décembre 1785: “Quod ad majoris molis opus alterum attinet, nimirum scientiam numariam, fere ad coronidem eductum jam est, nihilque aliud jam deest, quam ampla prolegomena, et quod cuperem, novem annorum lima“ (Bonn, Universitäts- undLandesbibliothek, S. 711, f. 285r; Andreasen ‒ Ascani 2013, vol. 2, p. 69 ; Williams - Woytek 2015a, p. 48, note 18; Woytek 2022a, p. 389, n° 8; Burnett 2022, p. 420, n° 9).
Woytek 2022a, p. 389, note 114: "The “nine years’ polish” is an evident allusion to Catullus c. 95, 1–2 (Zmyrna mei Cinnae nonam post denique messem / quam coepta est nonamque edita post hiemem) and/or Horace, Ars P. 388–389 (nonumque prematur in annum / membranis intus positis). The Alexandrian poets and their Neoteric followers in Rome pledged themselves to creating elaborate, highly learned, sometimes oversophisticated poems regardless of the necessarily lengthy production process. I am grateful to my father Erich Woytek for advising me on this point." (fr)
