Sallust entire

The surviving works of Gaius Sallustius Crispus — the monographs on Catiline's conspiracy and the Jugurthine War, with what remains of the Histories — translated in a single voice, with the Latin facing every line. A glossary of every name and a cross-reference index sit alongside.

What makes this different

A few things, taken together, set this edition apart. Click any to expand.

One clipped voice across the corpus.

The Catiline, the Jugurtha and the Histories fragments by one translator under a single style guide that keeps Sallust's archaizing, epigrammatic snap — where other editions mix hands.

Arranged as written.

Read in the order Sallust wrote them, the two monographs and the Histories form one study of a republic rotting from within, not works shelved by type.

A scholarly apparatus alongside.

A glossary of every person and place, the Latin facing the text, and cross-references — absent from plain editions.

From the Latin.

Read from Sallust's Latin directly, not adapted from a prior English version. The text comes from open scholarly sources.
