1597rif. 70284Lugduni Batavorum: ex officina Plantiniana apud Franciscum Raphelengium 1597. 4to pp. 16 695 17; collating: â´ 4 A-Zâ´ a-3uâ´; printer's woodcut device on title page; woodcut initials; text in double column; contemporary full limp parchment with extensive ink notation on upper cover and titling on spine; early ownership inscription at the bottom of the title page of Zanius Dacier dated 1602. The cover notes quote Martin Marie Charles de Boudens Vanderbourg who edited an edition of Horace in 1812 so this quote likely dates to after 1812. The complete annotated Horace by the humanist Cruquius 1520-1584 who was Latin schoolmaster at Bruges. The 'commentator vetus' known as Commentator Cruquianus "is a collection of scholia published by Cruquius from various mss. notably the four codices blandinii which were destroyed by fire in 1566 with the Benedictine abbey Blandigny near Ghent" OCLC. "'Cruquius' says Dr. Harwood 'is deservedly esteemed one of the best commentators on Horace. Consult the notes in these editions on any of the difficult passages in Horace and you will have your doubts satisfactorily solved.' Barthius and Tanaquil Faber think but slightly of Cruquius: they observe and in this observation Mitscherlich seems to concur that he has performed little more than the old commentators Acro and Porphyrio. Harles thinks that Cruquius is not equal to Lambinus in research ingenuity and general critical knowledge: yet Baxter has not scrupled to call Lambinus Cruquius and Torrentius the 'tria Horatii lumina'" Dibdin.

Rare first edition in the original Latin of the collected poetic works of the humanist and neo-Latin poet Janus or Joannes Secundus Jan Everaerts 1511-1536 who "ranks among the foremost poets of the world" as "the only famous 16th-century Dutch poet" Guépin p. 231: "one of the most significant and enduring poets of the Renaissance" and "the outstanding Latin love poet of the northern Renaissance" Price p. 1. Although not quite twenty-five when he died he published numerous poetic works from 1532 to 1536 but left most of his work unpublished at his premature death. Much of his poetry appeared for the first time in the present posthumous edition. Janus is most famous for his "Basia" kisses: 19 lyric love poems influenced by Catullus. Janus's three books of elegies especially the first book comprising 11 love poems to his possibly fictional first love Julia are also masterpieces of neo-Latin poetry.Although revered internationally in his own century and influential throughout the 17th and 18th centuries among his avid readers were Ronsard Fleming Huygens Milton and Goethe Janus's name has been eclipsed in the Netherlands by those of Cats and Vondel in part because they wrote in Dutch.Janus Secundus was born in The Hague. His father was a lawyer at the leading courts of the Low Countries and the family moved to Maastricht when Janus was sixteen. He studied law there and later studied at Bourges and at the University in Louvain. Though a native Dutch speaker and fluent in French Janus had learned Latin with his older brothers at an early age and corresponded with them in Latin.With 3 French verses in a near contemporary hand on the endleavesFurther with a near contemporary donation inscription on the title-page; a 19th-century bookplate on the inside front wrapper and blue ink stamp on the title-page.
