HORÁCIO
QUINTI Horatii Flacci Opera. Interpretatione et Notis Illustravit Ludovicus Desprez Cardinalitius Socius ac Rhetor Emeritus, Jussu Christianissimi Regis, in usum Serenissimi Delphini ac Serenissimorum Principum Burgundiae, Andium, Biturigum. Venetiis: Apud Joannem Malachinum, 1727.
2 v.; [8], 914, [134] pp.; 235 mm. Lacking the frontispiece; full contemporary calf, tired; stained.
Complete work by Horace, annotated. The work has an erroneous pagination. The first volume is normally numbered from 1 to 504, but the second starts the numbering on page 1, running to page 32, then moving on to 537, which corresponds to the printer’s intention to run the numbering of the pages of the first for the second volume. Rare.
