Publisher's Synopsis
Et Persius, edited by Richard Bentley and published in 1792, is a collection of satirical poems by the Roman poets Decimus Junius Juvenalis and Aulus Persius Flaccus. The book includes all sixteen of Juvenal's satires and all six of Persius's satires, along with extensive notes and commentary by Bentley. The satires cover a wide range of topics, including corruption in politics and society, the excesses of the wealthy, and the hypocrisy of the religious establishment. Juvenal's satires are known for their scathing wit and biting social commentary, while Persius's satires are more introspective and philosophical in nature. Overall, the collection provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political climate of ancient Rome, as well as the literary and intellectual traditions of the time.Edited By Heinrich Christian Von Hennin And Isaac Casaubon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
