Oxford AT THE CLARENDON PRESS M DCCC XCII HARVARD Oxford PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS BY MORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. In this Edition the notes have been carefully revised and in most instances recast. Much new matter has been added. The life of Juvenal has been to a large extent re-written, and attention has been paid to the most recent literature upon the subject of Juvenal and his times. The text employed is that of Jahn (editio altera, curata a Francisco Buecheler, Berolini 1886). A few alterations in this have been made, in most cases the suggestions of scholars in the Classical Journal. These have all been noticed and acknowledged in the notes. Our chief guide and authority has been the great work of Professor Mayor (Thirteen Satires of Juvenal, with a Commentary, 2 vols. Macmillan 1878). In many cases the notes have been simply based upon those in the work of this scholar. In all cases his great authority has been carefully weighed, as indeed any utterance of Professor Mayor upon the subject which he has dealt with as a master must be. The obligations of the Editors to Professor Mayor have been constantly acknowledged in the notes, but a special acknowledgment seems called for here as well, inasmuch as without Professor Mayor's work the present Edition would have been impossible. He has also, with a true scholar's generosity, been kind enough to give his counsel as to several readings and interpretations. Professor Nettleship's Life and Poems of Juvenal' published in the Journal of Philology, No 31, has been carefully considered. Weidner's second edition of Juvenal has been consulted. A full list of the literature that has appeared on the subject of Juvenal and his works is contained in his edition, to which the scholar is referred. Other books that have been consulted are-Das Leben Juvenals, by Professor Dürr (Ulm, 1888); Die Art und Tendenz der Juvenalischen Personenkritik, by |
