C. Lucilii Saturarum Reliquiae (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from C. Lucilii Saturarum Reliquiae

Cum hominum doctorum studia hodie in eo maxime elaborent, ut antiquissima Litterarum Latinarum monumenta iterum iterum que excutiantur et illustrentur, iam tribus abbino annie consilium agitavi, Lucilii, poetae olim clarissimi Suturarum fragmenta denuo edendi. Sed multis variisque negotiis distentus, opus cupido qui dem arripui, sed saepîus intermisi et subsecivis, ut aiunt, operis elaboravi. Et dimidia fere parte plagularum typis expressa, iterum remoram gradui fecit, quod cognovi novem omnibusque numeris absolutam Lucilii editionem a iuvene dnctissimo, I. Beckam, scholae Moguntinae praeceptore, pareri. Cuius de consilio si paulo matu rius compertum habuissem, lubenti animo quae collegeram, ei examinanda, retractanda et excerpenda reliquissem. Sed quae incepta erant, non potuerunt imperfecta relinqui et librario hu manissimo, quae promiseram praestanda. Satis igitur habebo, 'si homines eruditi, quantum operae ad Lucilii reliquias emendandas collatum est, non plane infructuosum fuisse iudicaveriut.
