Excerpt from Decimi Junii Juvenalis Satirae XIII: Thirteen Satires of Juvenal; With Notes and Introduction That some such revised edition was attempted is probable, from the statement of one Old biographer, that a considerable interval elapsed between the original composition Of the lines on Paris, and their reappearance in the Seventh Satire; from the remark Of another, that he enlarged his satires in exile; and from the curious circumstance that there are mss. In which the Sixteenth Satire, a mere fragment is placed before the Fifteenth. Obviously, copyists must have Changed the order which Juvenal intended, in order that all the satires might appear to be finished, except the last; perhaps also those who doubted the genuineness of the fragment may have wished to propagate their suspicions by relegating it to a sort Of Appendix. If Juvenal was in the habit of retouching his compositions, it is Obviously unsafe to infer the date of a satire from single lines; for in such a laboured style innumerable additions and insertions would be possible, which would im prove the brilliancy Of the general effect, without impairing its unity. Hence we cannot build much upon the following list Of passages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
