About This Item
1590 Juvenal & Persius Satires Stoic Philosophy Latin Pithou Geneva Sulpicia
"Many commit the same crime with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown."
― Juvenal, The Satires
A rare 1590 Latin printing of 'The Satires' of Juvenal and Persius. This collection of satirical poetry was written in the late 1st and 2nd centuries and discuss society, social norms, irony, each of these providing insight to the morals and values of Roman life at the time. Juvenal outlines many of the concerns he has with Roman citizens including unfaithfulness and greed; issues he recognized as downfalls to society. Many of the satires include references to Greek and Roman mythology.
This exceedingly rare 1590 edition was printed in Geneva and edited by Pierre Pithou. In addition to the expected satires of Juvenal and Persius, this edition features the works of the lesser-known Sulpicia. According to the USTC, no examples of this edition are found in any North American institution! Very rare!
