About This Item

Ex Typographia Anchore, Apud Josephum Marini, Florence: 1820., 1820 pp. 236; 149 + Engraved frontis portrait. Two volumes in one. Large paper copy, printed on "Carta dei Classici" paper. Slightly foxed. Tall folio. [460 x 315 mm.] Bound in original vellum backed cloth boards. Sallust was a famed Roman historian and politician. He was tribune of the people (52 B.C.) and praetor (46). He was ejected (50) from the senate ostensibly for adultery, but more probably because of his partisanship for Caesar. He served with Caesar after his praetorship and was his governor in Numidia; he was subsequently accused of misusing his governorship for personal gain. His princi pal works are the Bellum Catilinae, on the conspiracy of Catiline and his account of the Jugurthine War, Bellum Jugurthinum. His history of Rome is extant only in fragments; it probably covered the pe riod 78 B.C. to 67 B.C. As a historian Sallust was important as one of the first to write historical monographs dealing with sharply limited events and periods. Although his style is consciously archa ic, it is distinguished by its terseness and directness. His character sketches are particularly impressive and vivid, and his work has found as many imitators as critics - Columbia Encyclopedia. In t his edition, the Latin text is followed by an Italian translation by Vittorio Alfieri da Asti. This beautifully printed Bodoni-like production is extremely scarce. We have been able to locate only three copies in the U.S. Brunet V:88. RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W143 Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good.
