Sallustius Crispus, cum veterum Historicorum fragmentis.
SALLUST. C. Sallustius Crispus, cum veterum Historicorum fragmentis.
Leiden: Ex officina Elzeviriana, 1634
12mo. (126 x 74 mm.). Engraved title by Cornelius Claesz Duysent. Occasional Greek letter, separate title for the Fragments. A very little occasional spotting. Contemporary vellum over paper boards, spine neatly titled in an early hand, foot of spine a little bumped, very slight soiling to spine. Otherwise a very good and clean copy in an attractive binding.
FIRST ELZEVIER EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Sallust's Histories survive only in fragments. He also wrote on the Catiline conspiracy, foiled by Cicero and used by him to great effect, after Catiline attempted a coup d'état in 63 BCE while Cicero was Consul. Sallust was a supporter of Caesar and as a reward was made Governor in Africa Nova. In his short governorship, he managed to be so fantastically corrupt that the fortune he amassed paid for the purchase of Caesar's pleasure gardens near the Quirinal in Rome, later known as the Hortii Sallustiani, and used by several Emperors.
