Macrobius' Saturnalia Book One

[modernized text]

The Editors of the series and the Press have determined how much of the original text could be included in this translation, in accordance with the practices of other volumes in this series and with the requirements of space and expense.

In addition to the works acknowledged in the bibliography and notes, I am grateful for the help given throughout by Dr. Thomas A. Suits, who undertook the exacting task of “Special Editor” for this project. His scholarship and taste have, time and again, come to the rescue.
