Condition: Gut. Auflage: Illustrated. LXXXIX, 361 Seiten / p. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Alexander Barclay ( c.1476-1552 ) is best known as the author of the English verse Ship of Fools and Eclogues. In 1522 he published a prose translation of the Roman historian Sallusts Bellum Jugurthinum, an account of the war between the Roman state and Jugurtha, King of Numidia. Barclay expanded his source to include explanations for the benefit of his non-scholarly audience: his patron Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, and other English gentlemen. He drew heavily on two printed commentaries on Sallusts text, those of Chrysostomus Soldus ( published in 1495 ) , and of the Parisian printer and scholar, Badius Ascensius ( published in 1504 ), weaving their explanatory material into his translation. There is a full presentation of Barclays use of these sources in the explanatory notes and apparatus to the text. -- This is the first modern critical edition of this text, one of the first translations of a classical text into English. It is accompanied by a full Introduction, Explanatory Notes, and Glossary. ISBN 9780199688197 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 734 Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag / Cloth with dust jacket.
