1699 Juvenal Persius SATIRES Stoic Philosophy ROME Desprez + London Commentary

“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 1699 printing of ‘The Satires’ of both Juvenal and Persius printed by Clavel. This collection of satirical poetry was written in the late 1^st and 2^nd 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.

This scarce, late 17^th-century edition includes annotations throughout by a rhetoric scholar Ludovicus Prateus, or Louis Desprez. This annotated commentary is printed in double-columns at the bottom of each page, with the text of the satires at the top.
