Sallust (86-35 BCE)

La conjuración de Catilina y la guerra de Jugurta. 1772

SALLUST (86-35 BCE). La conjuración de Catilina y la guerra de Jugurta. Translated by Infante Gabriel of Spain. Madrid: Joachin Ibarra, 1772.



Ibarra’s ‘stupendous Sallust’ - one of the finest works of Spanish typography (Bodoni). Of this work by the virtuoso typographer Ibarra, Dibdin wrote that ‘the annals of the press can boast no more perfect volume than this.’ Ibarra printed his bilingual edition of Sallust’s thrilling accounts of the Catilinarian conspiracy and the war against Jugurtha in only 120 copies, given as gifts to the friends of the work’s royal translator: the Infante of Spain. Brunet V, 921; Palau 288134; Cohen-de Ricci 938; see Dibdin, An introduction to the knowledge of rare and valuable editions of the Greek and Latin classics, p. 387.
