*Italy - PUBLIUS CORNELIUS SEVERUS L'Etna de P. Cornelius Severus et les Sentences de Publius Syrus, traduits en françois, avec des remarques [par Accarias de Sérionne][...] Paris, Chaubert et Clousier, 1736. In-12 brown basane, smooth ornate spine, title page, gilt fillet framing the boards, red tr. (period binding). Covers gnawed, leather missing, rubbed, corners worn. Rousseurs. Edition decorated with two folding plates (view of Etna and map of Sicily). Publius Cornelius Severus was a Latin poet and contemporary of Ovid. He died an untimely death. He left behind a fragment on the Death of Cicero. The Etna poem has been attributed to him, but Johann Christian Wernsdorf believes it is by Lucilius the Younger. Publilius Syrus (or, less correctly, Publius Syrus), born in Syria around 85 BC and died at an unknown date after 43 BC, was a Latin poet. Brought as a slave to Rome, named Syrus after his province of origin, he was educated and later freed by his master for his intellectual qualities, humor and talents. Along with Decimus Laberius, a Roman knight whom he is said to have defeated in a literary joust in Caesar's presence in 46 BC, he is the leading exponent of mimicry. Syrus outlived both Caesar and Laberius, and enjoyed great success in Rome. We owe him a series of mimes, two titles of which have survived. We can also read his Sentences, a series of aphorisms taken from his plays. They include maxims and piquant observations, such as "judex damnatur ubi nocens absolvitur" ("The judge is condemned when the guilty man is acquitted"). These maxims were still appreciated a century later by Seneca. (source Wikipedia).
