Bibliography of editions
of the Satires of Juvenal
published in Europe
up to the year 1600

David Shaw

The Satires of Juvenal (Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis, 55? A.D. – 138? A.D.) were a constant part of the reading matter of the European Renaissance and were regularly studied in schools and colleges, especially in the sixteenth century, even if they were less popular than the poems of Vergil or the comedies of Terence.

This educational need was facilitated by the newly emergent printing industry. The earliest recorded printed edition of Juvenal was produced in 1468 or 1469, probably in Rome. By the end of the sixteenth century, at least 206 editions of the full text, selections, commentaries and translations of Juvenal had been produced for sale in 43 towns in 9 (modern) countries across Europe.

This wiki presents entries for these editions, many with images and links to digitised copies. Each entry has a link to a PDF file with a traditional bibliographical description of the edition. A full census of surviving copies is given. Please report any further copies for addition to the wiki.

The original version of the wiki used Semantic MediaWiki on a site which site went out of existence. The site then continued as a MediaWiki application on David Shaw's personal server. It was transferred to the Bibliographical Society's servers in 2025.

The Contents page has links for the many categories which can be retrieved, e.g. printers, booksellers, towns, commentators, libraries, formats and much more.

A quick index to the editions, with images and links to full descriptions, is available as a single HTML page.

The Bibliographical Society has accepted this wiki as one of its electronic publications.
