Die durch einen choliambischen Prolog eingeleiteten Hexametersatiren des Persius vereinen den traditionellen Gesellschaftsbezug der Gattung mit dem ideellen Anspruch philosophischer Ethik zu einer ebenso individuellen wie fruchtbaren Synthese. Die Neuausgabe von Walter Kißel, welche die letzte Bearbeitung von W. Clausen (Oxford 1959) ersetzt, unternimmt es erstmals, den Zeugniswert der einzelnen Codices auf stemmatischer Grundlage zu bestimmen; dabei zeigt sich, dass gerade dem codex Pithoeanus und der recensio Sabiniana als traditionellen Eckpfeilern des Persiustextes eher eingeschränkte Bedeutung zukommt, während bisher vernachlässigte Handschriften in den Vordergrund treten.Ferner wird auch das jüngst erst durch eine wissenschaftliche Edition erschlossene Corpus der Persiusscholien (Commentum Cornuti, edd. Clausen-Zetzel, BT 2004) als Überlieferungsträger eigenen Ranges gewürdigt.

"First published in 1963, this book is the second of two volumes which bridge the gap between the study of classics and the study of literature and attempt to reconcile the two disciplines. Focusing on satire, this collection of essays offers a critical examination of Latin literature and aims to stimulate critical discussion of a selection of Latin poets. This experimental and ground-breaking book will be of particular interest to students of Roman Literature, Classics and Poetry."--Provided by publisher.

Literary satire assumes three main forms: monologue, parody, and narrative (some fictional, some dramatic). This book by Gilbert Highet is a study of these forms, their meaning, their variation, their powers. Its scope is the range of satirical literature-from ancient Greece to modern America, from Aristophanes to Ionesco, from the parodists of Homer to the parodists of Eisenhower. It shows how satire originated in Greece and Rome, what its initial purposes and methods were, and how it revived in the Renaissance, to continue into our own era.Contents: Preface. I. Introduction.
