"Manuscript translations into English made by a seventeenth century schoolboy from the original Latin are penned on interleaved blanks throughout this 1668 Amsterdam-printed edition of Juvenal's Satires. From the style of handwriting the annotations here can be dated to England during the Restoration era, approximately 1670. The student has translated selected sentences and phrases; these are underlined and numbered, with the translation penned in English on the facing interleaved blanks.The blank verso of the final printed leaf here bears pen trials together with six lines of seventeenth century verse copied by the schoolboy owner. Beginning “tell her I love her if she ask how well ...” the lines appear to be taken from Wits recreations. Selected from the finest fancies of moderne muses (London, 1654). School books of the early modern era were often handled to destruction or thrown away. The manuscript translations penned in this volume therefore are of value as a rare survival, a record of the Latin into English translation exercises that would have been attempted by many students in seventeenth century England."-- Adapted from vendor's description.
