INTRODUCTION
and of that by Mr. J. D. Lewis (1879). Mr. S. H. Jeyes has translated the whole of the sixteen Satires (1885), as also the Rev. S. Evans (1869) (Bohn's Library).
Of the numerous editions of Persius the most famous is the great Classical Edition of Isaac Casaubon (Paris, 1605), which has been often reprinted, and which has served as a groundwork of all subsequent editions of the poet. Among later editions may especially be mentioned those of G. L. Koenig (1803 and 1825); Otto Jahn (1843), included with Juvenal in the edition re-edited by Bücheler and Leo; C. F. Heinrich (1844); A. J. Macleane (along with Juvenal) (1857); above all that of J. Conington (1872); and A. Pretor (Catena Classicorum) (1868).
In translating Persius I have paid the greatest attention to the well-known translation of J. Conington, Corpus Professor of Latin in the University of Oxford, which is by far the best existing version of that author.
