Horrida Hystrix, Satyricon Castoreanum: Quod Ex Schedis Manuscriptis Deprompsit Unus E Societate Lollardorum is a book written by Robert Mackenzie Beverley in 1826. The book is a collection of satirical and humorous tales, written in Latin, that were originally compiled by a group of English religious dissenters known as the Lollards. The stories are set in ancient Rome and follow the adventures of various characters, including the titular Horrida Hystrix, a character who is half-man, half-hedgehog. The book is notable for its use of Latin, which was still a widely-used language in 19th century academia, and for its humorous and irreverent take on ancient Roman society. Overall, Horrida Hystrix, Satyricon Castoreanum offers a unique and entertaining glimpse into the world of classical literature and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
