EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases the beginning of the first satire by the renowned Roman poet, Juvenal, also known as Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis. Dating back to the 1st century AD, Juvenal's Satires remain a significant contribution to the classical literature of ancient Rome. This particular edition, published in Leyden in 1532, is a testament to the enduring appeal and influence of Juvenal's work over the centuries. The detail in this print reveals an intricately designed initial "S" adorned with the image of a satyr, a mythological creature known for their mischievous and satirical nature, reflecting the satirical tone of Juvenal's poetry. The satyr is depicted with a panpipe, a symbol of his role as a musician and storyteller, further emphasizing the satirical and entertaining nature of the Satires. As the age-old pages turn, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where Juvenal's biting wit and social commentary continue to resonate with readers. The modern viewer is reminded of the power of literature to transcend time and culture, offering a window into the past and a mirror to the present. The Satires remain a classic work of Latin literature, and this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of Juvenal's satirical masterpiece.
