P. Papinii Statii Libri quinque Silvarum [Latin]

By Jeremiah Markland and P Papinius Statius

Book Overview

P. Papinii Statii Libri quinque Silvarum presents the five books of Statius's Silvae in their original Latin. This edition, likely published in 1826, offers readers a direct engagement with the poetry of Publius Papinius Statius, a prominent figure in first-century Roman literature.

The Silvae, a collection of occasional poems, provides valuable insights into Roman society, culture, and the daily lives of its elite. The poems encompass a range of themes, from celebrations of friendship and mourning of loss to descriptions of villas and artistic achievements. Jeremiah Markland, a noted classical scholar (1693-1776), is associated with this work. This book will appeal to scholars of Latin literature, classicists, and anyone interested in Roman history and culture.
