Author Description

Excerpt from C. Sallusti Crispi De Coniuratione Catilinae Liber De Bello Iugurthino Liber: Edited, With Introduction and Notes Trix text here adopted is that of H. Jordan (and cd.. R876), who has taken for his main authority the ms. Of the National Library of Paris, which is known as Sorb. Soo or P, following it even in such occasional inconsistencies of orthography as seem due to the variations of archaic usage, and not to obvious blunders. Brevity has been studied throughout in the Notes, and no attempt has been made to deal exhaustively with the exegetical literature upon the subject, or to discuss the character and value of the mss It has been thought desirable to illustrate in some detail the inuence of Sallust on the language and style of Tacitus, as well as his own probable obligations to Thucydides and others; but parallel passages have been referred to sparingly in other cases, though ample stores have been collected in the Commentaries of Kortte, Krits, Fabri, and others.
