Author: CLARKE, John
Title: Eutropii Historiae Romanae Breviarium; Cum Versione Anglica, in Qua Verbum de Verbo Exprimatur; Notis Quoque & Indice: Or, Eutropius's Compendious History of Rome: Together with an English Translation As Literal As Possible, Notes and an Index
Description: London, J.F. and C. Rivington, 1782. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Modern rebind in patterned blue buckram with gilt spine lettering. xx, (4pp), 164pp, (4pp). Decorative head- and tailpieces. Near fine/very good. Circa 1960s library rebind is tight and sturdy; text block slightly trimmed and mildly, evenly age toned, but quite attractive; faint abrasion to front pastedown. This translation first published in 1722 proved popular and went through more than a dozen editions over the next seven decades. Two-column format, with side-by-side Latin/English texts. Eutropius (4th century A.D.) was a Roman official and this ten chapter concise account of Roman history from its founding in the 8th century B.C. up to his own times is considered a useful adjunct to lengthier classical histories. John Clarke (1687-1734) was a British schoolmaster and classical scholar who translated quite a few ancient Roman classics. A later printing and in modern binding, but super tight and eminently handleable. .
