Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Satires of Juvenal
The text of this edition agrees in the main with that of Bucheler's edition of Jahn. A list of passages where I have thought best to make use of other readings or other orthography will be found at the end of the volume; differences in punctuation are marked only where the meaning is materially affected. I have compared most of the important editions, and used Hosius' Apparatus Criticus ad Iuvenalem (1888), and Beer's Spicilegium Iuvenalianum (1885), as well as such special articles as were at my command.
Thirteen of the sixteen satires usually attributed to Juvenal are here given. Those omitted are the second, the sixth, and the ninth. These are rarely read in college classes. Where single lines or longer passages have been omitted, the fact is indicated by the numbering.
The notes are the result of several years' experience, careful study, and a comparison of the views of the best editors, especially Ruperti, Heinrich, Jahn, Macleane, Mayor, Weidrier, and Bucheler.
