Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Issu d’une famille libre mais d’origine plebeienne, C. Sallustius Crispus est ne a Amiternum, en Sabine, en 86 avant J.C.. Brillant, voluptueux et lettre, il ne tarde pas a embrasser la carriere politique. L’amitie inconditionnee que lui porte Cesar, lui vaut une ascension, puis une chute, rapides. Des 52, il devient tribun de la plebe et mene une campagne virulente contre Ciceron et Milon. En 50, cette engeance de crapule , comme le nommait son adversaire, est exclue du Senat pour immoralite et ne doit son retour qu’a l’influence de son prestigieux protecteur. Ce que Cesar avait fait, les Ides de mars le defirent : desormais prive de tout appui, Salluste se retire dans sa propriete de Princius et entame sa deuxieme carriere, vouee a l’ecriture. Outre leurs indeniables qualites litteraires, les oeuvres de Salluste mettent en avant une reflexion sur l’histoire et la politique, et font de Salluste une des premieres figure de l’ecrivain engage. Notre edition rassemble en un volume, La Conjuration de Catilina, La Guerre de Jugurtha ainsi que les Fragments des histoires. La preface dresse un portrait rapide, mais saisissant de l’eternel rival de Ciceron, et fournit toutes les informations necessaires a la bonne comprehension d’une periode historique trouble, tumultueuse et complexe. Chaque texte est eclaire d’une documentation precise, notamment quant a la revolte de Spartacus ou a la rivalite entre Marius et Metellus. Le style, de meme que la fortune de l’oeuvre, sont analyses en detail. La tradition manuscrite est etudiee de maniere synthetique, et assortie d’une bibliographie selective. Des notes accompagnent la lecture. L’ouvrage est en outre enrichi des Discours et lettres tires des Histoires ainsi que d’un Index Nominum.
