About This Item
(P. Didot, Natu Major) Lefevre, Paris: 1822., 1822 313p. Foxed. All edges gold. 16mo. (in 8). [116 x 74 mm]. Lovely French full leather binding. The boards tooled in blind with a central star-burst within a diamond. Spine and borders gold. Engraved Ex Libris of the Bibliotheque Congregation de Notre Dame, Maison des Oiseaux. Oval engraved French booksellers label (Potey). Brunet V:88. 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 pra etorship, and was his governor in Numidia; he was subsequently accused of misusing his governorship for personal gain. His principal 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 period 78 B.C. to 67 B.C. As a historian Sallust was important as one of t he first to write historical monographs dealing with sharply limited events and periods. Although his style is consciously archaic, it is distinguished by its terseness and directness. His character s ketches are particularly impressive and vivid, and his work has found as many imitators as critics - Columbia Encyclopedia. A very nice example of one of the best editions of Sallust. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 1 Language: eng. Hardcover. Very Good.
