JUVENAL (fl. early 2nd century). Satyrae. Edited by Marcus Antonius Sabellicus. [Venice: Printer of Duns Scotus Quaestiones, after 1472.]
An incunable edition of Juvenal’s Satires, with early marginalia. Juvenal’s punchy, vicious verses have come to define the genre of Roman satire and, curiously, were a popular school text for children up until the modern era. This copy has keywords copied out into the margins, perhaps indicating its use by a student. Goff J-634; HC 9676; ij00634000; Proctor *6788 (Proctor assigns this edition to Padua, Albrecht of Stendhal, c.1475).
Quarto (283 x 169mm). 60 leaves (of 72, lacking 12 leaves containing Satires of Persius). With initial blank (dampstaining, some marginal worming at ends, a few leaves repaired at inner or lower margins). 19th-century green marbled paper boards (upper joint starting, light wear).
