Présentation de l'éditeur

The text of Petronius Satires used is that of F. Buecheler, third edition, Ber Un, 1895. His text has been followed except in a few passages. Where a different reading is chosen, the fact is made clear in the treatment, and the reason for the change is given. For the purpose of distinguishmg the language of the illiterate speakers from that of the better educated, the figures giving the chapter and line for every quotation from their speeches are made heavier. By keeping in mind the fact that about one sixth of the prose portions of the work belong to these uneducated speakers, one can readily see the relative frequency with which they use any construction of which all occurrences are cited (this is ddne for many categories), and the passages in which they employ it. Reference to authorities is always by page, unless otherwise specified. In citinptwo works of reference frequently mentioned, only the initial letters ot the authors names are given: R. and G., S. and L., for Riemann et Goelzer and Segebade et Lommatzsch. The passages referred to in the text of Petronius are regularly indicated by numbers giving chapter and line. Only in a few places are pages cited, and the fact is always noted. Certain fragments covered by the Lexicon Petronianum are not recognized by the text followed, and, for that reason, some words given by the former are not included in this treatment. Many chapters in the Satires occupy parts of two or more pages. It therefore happens that there are sometimes more than one line with a particular number in a chapter. This fact must be kept in mind in verifying references to the text.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
