Juvenal and Persius by Juvenal

Bite and wit characterize two seminal and stellar authors in the history of satirical writing, Persius (AD 3462) and Juvenal (writing about sixty years later). The latter especially had a lasting influence on English writers of the Renaissance and succeeding centuries.
So is there anything in this book that is less than perfect? Hardly, I would say… This volume is a truly great achievement, a most welcome addition to the Loeb Classical Library, and a must-buy for all institutional and private libraries of Latin literature-- Vincent Hunink * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
