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!
