The period covered by Sallust's Histories - 78-67 BC - forms part
of the less well-documented eras of the late Republic. Sallust's
contribution, despite its fragmentary transmission (about five
hundred fragments of narrative, four speeches, and two letters
preserved intact), remains of major importance to ancient
historians. For nearly a century, scholars have consulted the
edition of B. Maurenbrecher (1891-3) - a work, for its time, of
considerable merit. Continuing research on the period has produced
material with a bearing on the interpretation of the text; in
addition, several fragments not known to Maurenbrecher have
subsequently been discovered. For this new translation, Dr McGushin
has freshly revised Maurenbrecher's placement and ordering of the
fragments, and incorporated this newly discovered material.
Together with a comprehensive introduction, he also provides a
detailed interpretation in the first ever full-length commentary on
the work.
