20. John Bond (ed.), Q. Horatius Flaccus Cum commentariis selectissimis Variorum: & scholiis integris (Leiden, 1663).
Horace (65 BC–8 BC) was the most famous Roman poet of his day, a momentous period which saw the transition from the Republic to the Empire.
His epistles, odes and satires were widely admired by his contemporaries. Rediscovered in the Renaissance, his work was mined by generations of students and scholars for pithy aphorisms, although many readers would have admitted that they endured rather than enjoyed his verse.
This copy of Horace was presented in June 1927 by the Keeper of Marsh’s Library to replace one missing from the Library since 1767.
