important work has been lately translated into English, but the translation was published too late to permit of the quotations being made from the English edition. editors have, however, freely quoted from it. The The editions of Juvenal are numerous, especially those published in England and Germany. To pass over the oldest editions, Henninius availed himself of the labours of Britannicus, Pithoeus, Rigaltius, and Grangaeus, and brought out his text with a commentary at Leyden in 1695. Ruperti brought out an edition even fuller than that of Henninius at Leipzig in 1801; and followed this by two later editions published in 1819 and 1820. The French editor Achaintre published a commentary in two volumes at Paris in 1810, chiefly valuable for his communication of different readings drawn from Paris MSS. Juvenal was edited and commented on by E. W. C. Weber (Weimar, 1825). In 1830 Madvig published his 'Disputatio de locis aliquot Iuvenalis explicandis' (Copenhagen), which was followed by 'Disputatio altera' in 1842, and by his 'Adversaria critica ad Scriptores Latinos' in 1873. In 1838 Weber published a translation and notes, and in the following year Heinrich published an edition at Bonn containing the Ancient Scholia. An edition with English notes was published by Stocker in 1845 (London). Other useful works on Juvenal are 'Beiträge zur Kritik und Erklärung der Satiren des Iuvenalis,' by A. L. Döllen; Kempf, 'Observationes in Iuvenalis aliquos locos interpretandos' (Berlin, 1843); Roth, 'Zu Iuvenalis Sat. 1. 115 sq.' in the Jahrbuch für klassische Philologie (1860), vol. 81; Macleane's edition, 1857 (Whittaker), a judicious and sensible commentary; Escott's edition, with notes, London (Virtue), 1860, and (Lockwood), 1868; 'Der echte und der unechte Juvenal,' by Otto Ribbeck, Berlin, 1865, a clever but hypercritical and too ingenious work; Iuvenalis Saturae, erklärt von Andreas Weidner (Trübner, 1873), an excellent edition; Juvenal, with literal English Prose translation and notes, by John Delaware Lewis; Professor Mayor's Thirteen Satires of Juvenal, with English notes: replete with erudition, but too full for a School edition; (Macmillan, 1873); Simcox's edition, in the Catena Classicorum, 1873 (Rivingtons), a work containing much that is fresh and suggestive, but much that seems over-refinement in criticism; Hardy's school edition (Macmillan, 1883). Among modern criticisms of Juvenal as a writer should be mentioned the Essay in Nisard's 'Poëtes romains de la Décadence.' Many valuable dissertations on particular points of Juvenal literature have appeared in different German Reviews. Of these we have found useful—' Quaestiones Iuvenalianae,' by Schönaich (Halle, 1883); 'De Iuvenale Horatii imitatore,' by Schwartz (Halle, 1882); 'Iuvenal ein Sittenrichter seiner Zeit,' by Dr. P. Doetsch (Leipzig, 1874); and 'De locis aliquot Iuvenalis explicandis,' by Schmidt, 1851. Others are, Vahlen's 'Vindiciae Iuvenales' (Berlin, 1884), and Palende Iuv. Satiris,' 1882. Professor Nettleship's Essay on the Roman Satura is most instructive. In the text the editors have mostly followed that of Otto Jahn, as adopted by Mayor; though they have in places punctuated differently from him: they have, however, corrected this text by the fresh collation of the Pithoean MS. as described by R. Beer in his 'Spicilegium Juvenalianum,' Leipzig, 1885. The text has been expurgated so that it may safely be perused by the mixed classes in our modern English Colleges. |
