1930Best.-Nr. 002710New 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. This is a Very Good Plus to Near Fine copy of the First Edition Thus anonymously printed in an edition LIMITED to 1200 copies although this copy has not been numbered. Black cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 236 pages roughly-cut and with most unopened. Tipped-in bookplate of an interesting design on the front paste-down. The dustjacket is also black with gilt title on spine and front cover. Present is the cardboard slipcase black with an orange paper label. The top of the slipcase was separated but has been repaired with Holland tape and touched-up with black paint; although not professional the repair is serviceable. This is a rather nicely-done edition and typical of the popular mildly erotic by current standards editions that were produced during the first half of the Twentieth Century.

Translation attributed to Oscar Wilde with an introduction by 'S.W.' and illustrations by Allen Lewis. Notes bibliography and index follow text. "Satyricon or Satyrica is a Latin novel believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius though the manuscript text of the Satyricon calls him Titus Petronius. The surviving text a mixture of prose and poetry details the misadventures of the narrator Encolpius and his lover a handsome sixteen year old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius' friend Ascyltus who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius is another major character but he disappears from the narrative half way through the surviving text. It is a rare example of a Roman novel the only other surviving example quite different in style and plot being Metamorphoses written by Lucius Apuleius. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. Covici Friede Publishers hardcover books
19288vo. 236p. Limited to 1200 copies. The vivid, elegant, and mildly erotic Satyricon is usually attributed to Nero's friend, Gaius Petronius Arbiter. The surviving portions of the text detail the misadventures of the narrator, Encolpius, and his lover, a handsome sixteen-year-old boy named Giton. Throughout the novel, Encolpius has a hard time keeping his lover faithful to him as he is constantly being enticed away by others. Encolpius's friend Ascyltus (who seems to have previously been in a relationship with Encolpius) is another major character. It is one of the two most extensive examples of the Roman novel, the only other being fully extant Metamorphoses of Apuleius, which is quite different in style and plot. It is also extremely important evidence for the reconstruction of what everyday life must have been like for the lower classes during the early Roman Empire. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W121
