Quinti Horatii Flacci - Opera - 1741

Quinto Orazio Flacco – OPERA – Napoli, Vincenzo Orsini, 1741 – Due tomi in pergamena d'epoca – Edizione latina con commento di Ludovicus Desprez Interesting eighteenth-century Neapolitan edition of the works of Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65–8 BC), one of the greatest poets of Latin literature, published in Naples in 1741 at Vincenzo Orsini (Apud Vincentium Ursinum). The work is presented in two physical volumes, each with its own title page, respectively bearing the indications Tomus Primus and Tomus Secundus. The Latin text is accompanied by the interpretations and the detailed annotations of Ludovicus Desprez, in keeping with the tradition of classical editions in usum Delphini, conceived for the study and deepening of ancient literature. The edition features a rich typographic layout with poetic text, explanations (Interpretatio) and notes (Annotationes). Among the works present are the Odes, the Epodes, the Satires, the Epistles and the Art of Poetry, with an extensive apparatus of linguistic, historical and literary commentary. There are also indices and a final vocabulary. Bindings: both volumes preserve the characteristics of rigid bindings in light parchment, with a natural patina of time. The spines appear without modern labels. Conditions: copies in fair condition for their age. The parchments show yellowing, stains, abrasions and signs of use; the edges and corners show wear. Inside there are foxing, occasional stains and browning, while the print generally remains legible. Please refer to the numerous photographs for a detailed assessment of the conservation state. An fascinating testament to Neapolitan classical publishing of the eighteenth century, particularly suitable for collectors of old books, scholars of Latin literature and Horace enthusiasts.
