Añadir al carritoLeather. Condición: Good Only. A leather bound copy containing a selection of classical satire passages by Persius, translated into English and including a brief examination of the Roman poet's life. Scarce second edition.Bound in a contemporary full calf binding.This is a collection of the six satires from the Roman poet Persiu…s, translated into English verse 'with some occasional notes'.Contents include an advertisement to the front of the work, explaining the origins of this particular translation, as well as a brief 'Life of Persius' by Mr. Bayle.The satires of Persius are composed in hexameters, and talk about literary tastes of the day, national morals, and 'the question as to what we may justly ask of the gods'.This work was published anonymously, but the translation has been attributed back to Thomas Brewster (1705-?), an English doctor and translator. Brewster published this work while studying at Oxford, with the intention of seeing if the English public would appreciate the classical work.With a bookplate to front paste down belonging to Edward John Kenney (1924-2019), the British Latinist and expert on Ovid and Lucretius, as well as an institutional bookplate for the Cowper Museum.Collated, complete.

Añadir al carritohardcover. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. The Satires of Persius, Translated into English Verses, Persius (Translated by Thomas Brewster) â" First Collected Edition ("The Second Edition") Publication: London, A. Millar, 1751 Formatting: 12mo, pp. [xxiv], 154, [2]. Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in a handsome contempora…ry full speckled calf, featuring a gilt-tooled border to the boards and a contrasting black morocco title label to the spine. The binding remains remarkably sound and structurally tight, displaying expected antiquarian shelf-wear, most notably rubbing to the extremities, corners, and slight chipping to the spine ends. Despite this, the gilt tooling retains a pleasing brightness and the original leather possesses a warm, unoxidized patina. Internally, the hinges are uncracked and robust, fully supporting the text block. The pages are notably crisp and clean for their age, exhibiting only faint, occasional spotting and mild age-toning to the margins, presenting a highly readable and tactilely satisfying example of mid-eighteenth-century bookcraft. Catalogue Note: This 1751 publication represents the first collected edition of Thomas Brewsterâs acclaimed English verse translations of Persius (ESTC T143345). While the title page explicitly states "The Second Edition," this denotes its secondary appearance in print; the translations originally debuted as a series of five distinct, slim quarto pamphlets issued between 1741 and 1742. This edition gathers those previously disparate satires into a single, cohesive volume for the first time. Furthermore, this edition is notable for the inclusion of a prefatory 'Life of the Author', which was adapted from the biographical writings of Pierre Bayle. Bound in a highly original, unrestored contemporary state, this text stands as a scarce and textually significant artifact of eighteenth-century classical reception in Britain, highly desirable for collectors of Augustan-era literature. An elegant and scarce mid-eighteenth-century compilation of the Roman poet Persiusâs six satires, rendered into vibrant English verse by Thomas Brewster. Praised for its accessible and poetic translation of notoriously difficult classical texts, this volume tackles themes of literary taste, national morality, and the true nature of human folly. A remarkable addition for any collector of classical literature, antiquarian translations, or Roman history. N/A (ilustrador).

Añadir al carrito8vo, pp.[4], [iii]-xxiv, 154, [2]; short tear to [p]2; a very good copy in contemporary British calf, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, edges speckled red; a few scuffs, cracks to joints and endcaps chipped; ink inscription 'Jno James (1751.)' to title with notes and corrections in the same hand (seebelow).Second edition, with t…he addition of Bayle's life of Persius, with manuscript corrections. Our commentator, an unidentified John James, is unusually strident in his annotations, adding to the title not only his name but an additional epigraph adapting Persius 5:28-29 ('Totumque hoc verba resignent / Quod latet arcana (vix) enarrabile fibra') and changing 'and the Original Text corrected' to read 'and the Latin Original subjoin'd & corrected'. In the preface he identifies the translator, 'Dr Brewster of St Jns Oxfd', and in the Life continues as confidently as before, correctly noting that Persius was born in the reign of Tiberius, not Nero, changing his native town of 'Volterra' towards a more Roman form 'Volterræ', and making seemingly trivial additions to the text, e.g.'the famous Grammarian Palemon', 'the Orator Verginius Flaccus', or 'Italian Genealogists vainly alledge'. James on occasion engages critically with the notes, for example changing 'Trowses' to 'Breeches' and noting that they were worn not only by Medes but also by 'some Gauls in that Age' (p.67), but beyond implementing the errata and a few minor changes he appears to pay relatively little attention to the translation itself. ESTC T143345.
