About This Item

Arnoldum & Regnerum Leers, Rotterdam and The Hague: 1683., 1683 119p. + Engraved title page (which shows Baccus sitting on the globe). Light damp and age stain. Thin 32mo. [115 x 58 mm.] Contemporary full leather binding, varnished and cracked at joints. Juvenal was a great Roman satirical poet. His verse established a model for the satire of indignation, in contrast to the less harsh satire of ridicule of Horace. Little is known about his life except that during much of it he was desperately poor. A tradition tells that as a youth he was banished from court for satirizing an imperial favorite; later his work reveals a deep hatred for the Emperor Domitian. He is known chiefly for his 16 satires, which contain a vivid representation of life in Rome under the empire. They were probably written in the years between A.D. 100 and A.D. 128. The biting tone of his diatribes has seldom been equaled. From the stern point of view of the older Roman standards he powerfully denounces the lax and luxurious society, the brutal tyranny, the affectations and immora lity of women, and the criminal excesses of Romans as he saw them, especially in his earlier years. The rhetorical form of his verse is finished, exact, and epigrammatic, furnishing many sayings that have become familiar through quotation - Columbia Encyclopedia. Frequently joined with the satires of Juvenal are those of a fellow Roman satirist, Persius. Born in Etruria, a member of a distinguishe d family, he went to Rome in boyhood, was educated there, and came under the influence of the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, to whom he became attached in lasting friendship. Gentle and mo dest by nature, Persius had high moral standards. His writings (only six short satires), influenced in manner by Horace and Lucilius, preach Stoic moral doctrine. He exposed to censure the corruption and folly of contemporary Roman life, contrasting it with the ideals of the Stoics and of earlier Rome - Columbia Encyclopedia. An unusual and scarce little edition. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 3 Language: eng. Hardcover. Good.
