How many poems by Catullus survive?

The number of surviving poems by the Roman poet Catullus is a subject of scholarly discussion due to the nature of the surviving manuscripts. Depending on whether a specific poem is divided or not, it is generally accepted that 113 or 114 poems survive.1

While the total count in printed editions is often 116, this figure includes poems XVIII through XX, which were inserted by early editors without evidence that they were authored by Catullus. Furthermore, the surviving collection is considered incomplete and mutilated, with ancient citations suggesting the existence of at least five additional poems that have been lost.1
