Persius, A. Flaccus: Commentarius atque index rerum notabilium: Accedunt testimonia de Persio saec. XIV-XX

This volume is a short Latin commentary with an emphasis on linguistic interpretation. In the case of Persius, a notoriously difficult author, Latin--with all its means of precise semantic definition and paraphrase--is an efficient instrument. The collection of opinions about Persius and Roman satire--dating from the fourteenth to the twentieth century--presented by this volume not only closes a gap in Persius studies but is also of paradigmatic importance as far as the analysis of obscuritas in European culture and the modern age is concerned.Oleg Nikitinski is the author of 'Persius, A. Flaccus: Commentarius atque index rerum notabilium: Accedunt testimonia de Persio saec. XIV-XX' with ISBN 9783598742934 and ISBN 3598742932.
