LA PHARSALE DE LUCAIN, Traduite en Francois par M. Marmontel.

Two volumes. I. [1], LXXIX, 304. II. [1], 415, [1](Errata), [4](Approbation) + Eleven (11) engraved plates. French text. 8vo. 200 mm. Edges decorated red. Some age stain and foxing. Original decoratively mottled full leather bindings. Spines worn, but some gilt remains. Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65 CE), was an important Roman poet, born in Cordoba. One of the outstanding figures of the Imperial Latin period, his youth and speed of composition set him apart from others. The Pharsalia is an epic poem on the Roman Civil War. It is considered the greatest epic in Latin after the Aeneid. It depicts the Battle of Pharsalus (48 BC) where Julius Caesar defeated Pompey. Lucan's poetic talent apparently aroused the jealously of the Emperor Nero. After the publication of Pharsalia the Emperor forbade him to write, or even plead in the courts, and then later compelled him to commit suicide for alleged treason. The engraved plates in this edition are mostly by the famous French engraver and book illustrator, Hubert Francois Gravelot (1699-1733). The original art was by: Antoine-Jean Duclos; Emanuel Jean Nepomucene Ghendt; Noel Le Mire; Francois Denis Nee; Jean Francois Rousseau; and Jean-Baptiste Blaise Simonet. See: Schweiger II, 568; Cohen & DeRicci 662. Apparently not in Ray. Very good. CHEST 2/1.
