Remains of Old Latin, Vol. 3 of 4: Newly Edited and Translated; Lucilius, the Twelve Tables (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Remains of Old Latin, Vol. 3 of 4: Newly Edited and Translated; Lucilius, the Twelve Tables
IN the introduction to the first volume of this series of Remains of Old Latin it was stated (pp. Vii - viii) that there would be three volumes; that, of literary remains, fragments of poets only would be included; and that the third volume would contain Lucilius and old Latin inscriptions. But a change in plan has now been made, so as to include the Twelve Tables of Roman Law, without excluding inscriptions of a readable length down to 80 b.c. The series there fore contains four volumes instead of three, Lucilius and the Twelve Tables being assigned to this volume - the third - the inscriptions to the fourth. Pages vii - viii of the introduction to volume I, and the title pages of volumes I and II, no longer describe the scope of the series accurately. This is to be regretted, but the change is for the better.

Remains of Old Latin, Vol. 3 of 4: Newly Edited and Translated; Lucilius
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a remarkable collection of fragments from the writings of Lucilius, a Roman satirist from the 2nd century BC and the forefather of satire as a literary genre. Lucilius's biting wit and observational humor, displayed in these fragments, provide a window into the tumultuous political and social landscape of ancient Rome. The author paints a vibrant and complex portrait of the era, from its cultural and literary preoccupations to its moral dilemmas. Lucilius's poetic lens, far ahead of its time, captures the vibrant spirit of a society in flux, and delivers an insightful and entertaining read for anyone interested in Roman history, literature, or satire's origins.
