Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Doctorum Virorum Conjecturis & Castigationibus; et indice locupletissimo. Accedit Annotationum Libellus. 140 p. + 44 p. annotatones+ [60] p. index, title page with engraved vignette (Original gilt-stamped decorative panels mottled calf, hinge bit weak, incidental comment in marge, else VERY GOOD) VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER Second edition (issued earlier in 1693). This edition, printed at the Sheldonian Theatre, of Paterculus' Roman history contains the addition of 44 pages of additional notes. "His Compendium of Roman History consists of two books dedicated to M. Vinicius, and covers the period from the dispersion of the Greeks after the siege of Troy down to the death of Livia (AD 29). The first book brings the history down to the destruction of Carthage in 146 BC; portions of it are missing, including the beginning. The later history, especially the period from the death of Julius Caesar, 44 BC, to the death of Augustus, AD 14, is treated in much greater detail. / The author does not display real historical insight, although generally trustworthy in his statements of individual facts. He may be regarded as something of a courtly annalist, rather than an historian. His chronology is inconsistent, though sometimes useful. On Caesar, Augustus, and above all on his patron Tiberius, he lavishes praise or flattery; but his portrait of the latter is a useful corrective to the sensationalist attacks of a Tacitus, as is his treatment of Livia. The repetitions, redundancies, and slovenliness of expression may be partly due to the haste with which (as the author frequently states) it was written. The inflated rhetoric, the straining after effect by means of hyperbole, antithesis and epigram, belong firmly to the Silver Age, of which Paterculus is the earliest example. He purposed to write a fuller history of the later period, including the civil war between Caesar and Pompey and the wars of Tiberius; but there is no evidence that he did so. His chief authorities were Cato's Origines, the Annales of Quintus Hortensius, Pompeius Trogus, Cornelius Nepos, and Livy."
