Christian Falster

He published translations of Ovid (1719) and the Satires of Juvenal (1731); 11 original satires on his times, often reprinted (1720–39); and in Latin a number of works, such as Viglia Prima Noctium Ripensiun (1721); Memoriæ Obscuræ (1722); Amœnitates Philologicæ (three volumes, 1821–32). The editors of The Classical Journal wrote that: Falster thought that all learning should be brought to bear upon theology, and, like Erasmus, he though that classical authors could contribute much toward sound religion. Falster's work covered a broad field from the history of Greek literature on the one hand, to Latin lexicography on the other, recognizing that philology, in the narrow sense, and literature are inextricably interwoven.
