The Works of Petronius Arbiter, first published in 1714, presents a collection of writings attributed to the Roman courtier Petronius, famed for his satirical novel, the Satyricon. This edition includes translations by Several Hands, aiming to make the wit and observations of Petronius accessible to a contemporary English audience. The volume also features a Key, by a Person of Honour, offering interpretations and contextual understanding of the texts, along with His Life and Character, likely referring to biographical details and analyses of Petronius himself, possibly by Saint-Evremond or William Cavendish Devonshire.
Petronius's work provides a fascinating glimpse into the decadent world of ancient Rome, offering social commentary and sharp satire that remains relevant centuries later. This edition serves as a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in classical literature, the history of translation, and the reception of ancient texts in the early modern period.
