Binding: Original publisher’s black cloth with gilt text and rules on top cover. Gilt text and rules on spine. Top edge dyed red. Front and bottom edge uncut. Black pasted and free endpapers. Illustrated gray and black slipcase. Notes: The Satyricon is a Latin work of fiction believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius though the manuscript tradition identifies the author as a certain Titus Petronius. The Satyricon is an example of Menippean satire which is very different from the formal verse satire of Juvenal or Horace. The work contains a mixture of prose and verse commonly known as prosimetrum; and serious and comic elements. Scholars often describe it as a "Roman novel" without necessarily implying continuity with the modern literary form. Size: 4to 237x166mm. Illustration: With a frontispiece and 100 illustrations by Alexander King. Transation: Oscar Wilde Category: Book Literature Hogarth Press hardcover

1930002710New York: Privately Printed 1930. Wilde's fascination with "The Satyricon" is well-known and since the earliest edition of this translation in 1902 his authorship has been accepted.

1905259306Hartford Conn.: Privately Printed by the Sherwood Press 1905. First edition no. 41 of 225 numbered copies. 45 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Quarter green cloth and marbled boards spine label. First edition no. 41 of 225 numbered copies. 45 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. An uncommon private printing ostensibly preceding the appearance of this essay in the Methuen collected edition of 1908. Wilde wrote the essay as an entry in the Chancellor's English essay prize contest at Oxford in 1879. The ms. except for a portion in the Clark Library was not recovered until the edition had progressed so it appears in fragments split between 2 volumes and then is finally collected as a complete entity in the 1909 Miscellanies volume. This printing is unrecorded by Millard and was not present in the Dulau catalogue so one might suspect a false imprint date. A copy did appear in the 1924 Quinn sale with the date represented as literal. Mason makes reference to this title but does not list a separate citation for it.
