Sebastian Hau

HORACE. Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera. 

Londini, Johannes Pine, 1733-1737 ; 2 vol. in-8, plein maroquin vert émeraude, dos à nerfs ornés, plats richement ornés de larges dentelles dorées, double filet doré sur les coupes, tranches dorées, dentelle intérieure (Chambolle-Duru).

16 ff., 264 pp. – 13 ff., 191 pp., 9 ff.

Second tirage sur grand papier (POTEST au lieu de POST. EST. sur la médaille de César, p. 108 du second volume) de l'un des plus beaux ouvrages du XVIIIe siècle, « très recherché » selon Cohen.

Entièrement gravé, l'Horace de John Pine est un chef-d'œuvre d'édition, illustré de 2 fleurons, 2 frontispices, 324 illustrations, 27 en-têtes et 164 initiales.

Les deux listes des souscripteurs, présentes au début de chaque volume, sont le reflet de l'engouement suscité par cette extraordinaire publication. Aux noms du prince de Galles, du duc de Cumberland et du prince d'Orange figurant dans le premier volume de 1733 succèdent, dans le second paru quatre ans plus tard, ceux de Louis XV, du roi de Portugal, du roi d'Espagne, etc.

Splendide reliure signée « Chambolle-Duru 1868 », en plein maroquin richement orné, dans le goût du XVIIIe.

Des bibliothèques E. Délicourt et H. Gresy (ex-libris).

Cohen-Ricci, 497.

Infimes manques de cuir aux nerfs et en queue, second mors du deuxième volume fendillé sur 3 cm en partie haute, deux petites griffures au second plat du deuxième volume. Intérieurs bien frais malgré quelques discrètes décharges de certaines planches gravées. Très bon exemplaire.
