AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION: I present at auction a superb and elegant volume of the Complete Works of the Latin lyric poet Horace (Odes, Epodes, Satires, Epistles and Ars Poetica), fixed and commented by the illustrious German philologist Friedrich Wilhelm Doering.
Published in Oxford in 1831 by the prestigious academic printing house of D. A. Talboys, this copy stands out both for the extreme typographic neatness characteristic of Oxford presses and for a truly spectacular aesthetic presence in a library.
+ HISTORICAL ORIGIN AND BRITISH UNIVERSITY ORIGIN
Old-property era note: It preserves on the previous fly leaf a beautiful handwritten inscription in ink with period handwriting: “J. P. Price, Commoner, Winton. 1860.”
An exceedingly attractive collectible detail that directly links this book to the students (Commoners) of the famous and historical Winchester/Oxford college/university in the mid-19th century.
