The second edition of John Mayor's 1853 commentary on the Roman
satirist Juvenal was published in the years 1872 to 1879, and
according to the author's preface was intended as a precursor to an
even larger-scale study. Thirteen of Juvenal's satires are featured
here (Satires 2, 6 and 9 are omitted) and a thorough commentary is
given for each, guiding the reader through the poet's intricate
language and a dense web of historical and mythological allusions.
Mayor (1825 1910), who was elected Professor of Latin at Cambridge
in 1872 and became one of the original Fellows of the British
Academy, applied his extensive knowledge of thought and life in
Imperial Rome to make this difficult material more approachable.
Volume 2 contains Mayor's notes on Satires 8 and 10 16.
