Each of the four titles shows Colinaeus' woodcut printer's mark: the Great Reaper Tempus swaying his scythe; 'Father Time' in the shape of a winged Satyr moves on a broad pedestal above which are shown flowers and grass cut down; behind this figure we read word 'Tempus'; upon the pedestal is the motto: 'Virtus sola aciem retundit istam'. All 4 copies printed completely in Italics. Dibdin on this Italic letter: 'To the curious this will be an additional incitement to purchase the work as Colinaeus is thought perhaps not very justly to have surpassed Aldus himself in the Italic type'. Woodcut initials Condition: Wear to the extremities. Back slightly rubbed. 3 small & old inscriptions on the first title which is somewhat soiled; one of the names has been erased. Small wormhole in the first four leaves. Occasional old ink underlings and annotations Note: This convolute contains 4 titles that were published by Simon de Colines who was one of the greatest typographers printers and publishers of Renaissance Paris. He was active in Paris between 1520 and 1546 and cut lucid and elegant roman and italic types and a beautiful Greek type superior to its predecessors. Colines was associated with the elder Henri Estienne I and continued his work after his death in 1520. He married the widow of Henri Estienne and was in charge of the press until Estienne’s son Robert I entered the business in 1526 by which time Colines had set up his own shop nearby. In 1528 he began to use italic type. Colines published many Greek and Latin classics. In 2012 K. Amert published a monograph: 'The Scythe and the Rabbit: Simon de Colines and the Culture of the Book in Renaissance Paris'. § All four titles in this binding form more or less a unity not only with respect to content the best of Latin poetry but also in appearance. Colines chose for all four good quality paper the same type and the same layout. Even the appearance and the wording of the title pages show similarity. Colines did not only have taste but he had also a sharp eye for good scholarship. He chose to reissue editions of the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius whose books were amongst the best of his age sometimes for centuries to come. The Horace volumes were first published by Colines in 1528. At the end Colines placed a short metrical treatise of the Italian humanist Nicolaus Perrotti 1429-1480 his 'libellus de metris Odarum Horatiarum'. In the margins of his Juvenal Colines repeated the marginal notes that were printed in the Horace/Juvenal edition of 1524 published by the Basle publisher Valentin Curio. In aedibus Valentini Curionis In Blackwell's Companion to the ancient world 'A Companion to Persius and Juvenal' edited by S. Braund & J. Osgood Oxford 2012 chapter 'Renaissance scholarship on Juvenal and Persius' these marginal notes in the edition of Valentin Curio are erroneously attributed to the Italian humanist Celio Secondo Curione in Latin Caelius Secundus Curio 1503-1569. This misunderstanding probably arises from the fact that Caelius Secundus Curio published a folio edition of the satires with commentary of Juvenal & Persius in Basel Froben/Episcopius in 1551. See Schweiger 2509 Provenance: At the upper edge of the title: 'phi ign: pagart no. 193'.

The 4 decorative silk fastening ribbons at the outer edges of the boards worn away. Bookplate pasted on the front pastedown. Old names on the front flyleaf Note: Richard Bentley 1662-1742 from 1700 Master of Trinity College Cambridge was doubtless one of the greatest names among classical scholars of Europe in the 18th century. He is most famous for his 'Dissertation on the Epistles of Phalaris' London 1697/99 a work that according to Sandys 'marks an epoch in the History of scholarship'. He made significant advances in the study and textual criticism of Horace. In 1711 he published an edition of Horace 'in which the traditional text is altered in more than 700 passages a masterly work which however does more credit to the logical force of his intellect than to his poetic taste. It is here that we find his celebrated dictum: 'nobis et ratio et res ipsa centum codicibus potiores sunt'. Sandys 2406 This citation is however not complete. The wise words which follow after the comma potiores sunt are mostly omitted: 'praesertim accedente Vaticani veteris suffragio'. Some of his 700/800 emendations have been accepted but the majority was rejected by the early 20th century as unnecessary § The works of the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus 65-8 B.C. have enjoyed a continuous presence in European culture. Till well into the 20th century he stood central in school curricula. Earlier in the Middle Ages he was next to Vergil the most important school author. Horace is transmitted in around 300 medieval manuscripts. The Renaissance saw the beginning of a flood of editions.

The prize is signed by 2 curators and the rector of the 'Gymnasii Oldensaliensis' J.G. Schultz'. In the 'Maendelyke uittreksels of de Boekzael der geleerde werrelt' Volume 60 Amsterdam 1774 p. 98 we found the report of a promotion ceremony at the gymnasium of Oldenzaal in which a boy H.J. Potken participated. Members of the Potken family lived in the Dutch city of Oldenzaal from the 17th century. § On the front pastedown an engraved bookplate 'Ex libris John Chipman Gray'.

The odes he says are preceded sometimes by an indication of the metre 'ex mente A. Manutii' to make scansion especially for schoolboys tirones easy.

The fire is aroused by a human head a cloud blowing from the sky. The second printer's mark on the verso of the last leaf is a simpler version of the image now with the addition of the name of the printer 'Sebastian Henric Petri'; the 2 letters 'n' in the name 'Sebastian Henric Petri' are strange enough cut backwards mirrorwise. Woodcut initials. Printed in 2 columns. The poems of Horace printed in a beautiful Roman letter are surrounded by commentary printed in italics thus more or less suggesting the layout of a medieval manuscript Condition: The foot of the spine is somewhat chafed.

The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 454/60 § This edition of Horace is a kind of 'Variorum' edition. It offers the observations and emendations of 40 Horace scholars old and new including the commentaries of the scholiasts Helenius Acron and Porphyrius. It does not break new ground Lambinus seems not to exist but it is a real treasure chest for Horatian philology supplying all what is worth knowing of Horace and his poetry. It is a reissue of the edition of 1555 which was produced by the German classical scholar Georg Fabricius 1516-1571. 'Seine Ausgaben von Vergil Horaz und Ovid zeichnen sich nicht nur durch philologische Akribie aus sondern sind auch wegweisend für die Interpretation'. NDB 4734 § A remarkable feature of this edition is the space which is attributed to the Ars Poetica. Commentaries treatises on the AP by Landinus Luisinus Grifolus Lucinianensis Iason & Gabriel de Nores Parrhasius Amarbachius & Freigius fill almost a quarter of the book. It is a pity that Robertello's work on the Ars Poetica was not included. Still this 1580 edition is declared to be indispensable by Dr. Harwood: 'This is the great treasure of learning bestowed on Horace. My learned and worthy friend Dr. Parr one of the best classical scholars in this kingdom many years ago informed me of the distinguished merit of this edition. It contains the observations and remarks on Horace which were made by the great scholars of that illustrious age the glorious age of the revival of literature as well as the criticism of all the old commentators on Horace Acron Porphyrion &c'.
