8vo, pp.[4], [iii]-xxiv, 154, [2]; short tear to [p]2; a very good copy in contemporary British calf, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, edges speckled red; a few scuffs, cracks to joints and endcaps chipped; ink inscription 'Jno James (1751.)' to title with notes and corrections in the same hand (seebelow).Second edition, with the addition of Bayle's life of Persius, with manuscript corrections. Our commentator, an unidentified John James, is unusually strident in his annotations, adding to the title not only his name but an additional epigraph adapting Persius 5:28-29 ('Totumque hoc verba resignent / Quod latet arcana (vix) enarrabile fibra') and changing 'and the Original Text corrected' to read 'and the Latin Original subjoin'd & corrected'. In the preface he identifies the translator, 'Dr Brewster of St Jns Oxfd', and in the Life continues as confidently as before, correctly noting that Persius was born in the reign of Tiberius, not Nero, changing his native town of 'Volterra' towards a more Roman form 'Volterræ', and making seemingly trivial additions to the text, e.g.'the famous Grammarian Palemon', 'the Orator Verginius Flaccus', or 'Italian Genealogists vainly alledge'. James on occasion engages critically with the notes, for example changing 'Trowses' to 'Breeches' and noting that they were worn not only by Medes but also by 'some Gauls in that Age' (p.67), but beyond implementing the errata and a few minor changes he appears to pay relatively little attention to the translation itself.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. folio. pp. 6 p.l., 341. without the last leaf containing the longitudinal title, as usual. first title in red & black. 4 engraved plates (incl. 1 map, 1 folding, & 1 of a manual counting system) & 48 engravings & woodcuts in the text (incl. 1 map). woodcut title vignettes. 19th century half calf (rubbed, 2 plates shaved at upper & lower edges, 1 text illus. shaved at outer edge, dampstain to outer margin in first gatherings, occasional stains). First Edition of the English Translation, with extensive commentary, by Barten Holyday of the satires of Juvenal, incorporating the fourth edition of Holyday's translation with commentary of the satires of Persius Flaccus. This is also the first English translation to be illustrated, most of the engravings being the work of David Loggan. Prefixed are testimonials by scholars Thomas Farnaby and John Selden. Holyday [1593-1661] was chaplain to Sir Francis Steuart and afterwards to Charles I. Before 1626 he became archdeacon of Oxford, and in 1642 was created D.D. "A translation noted for 'rigid fidelity'. Holyday was 'a writer of great learning, and even of critical acuteness, as the excellent commentary on the author fully shews.' Tytler. Dryden observes, Holyday's 'interpretation and illustrations of Juvenal are as excellent as the verse of his translation and his English are lame and pitiful.' 'The most literal translation; and certainly the most learned notes are contained in this volume of all the translations of these caustic authors.' - Heath." (Lowndes) Juvenal inspired many authors including Samuel Johnson, who modeled his 'London' on Satire III and his 'The Vanity of Human Wishes' on Satire X. He is also the source of many well-known maxims, including that men should pray for 'mens sana in corpore sano' rather than wealth, power or children, that a perfect wife is a 'rare bird' ('rara avis in terres nigroque simillima cycno'), and that power corrupts ('quis custodiet ipsos custodes').
