4to. 2 parts in 1: (XXIV),717,(1 errata); 239,(1 blank) p., frontispiece. Half goatskin. 27.5 cm < Deventer provenance > (Ref: STCN ppn 186707010; Schweiger 2,406; Riedel Horatiana p. 42/43; Brunet 3,318/19: ' L'ouvrage parut d'abord à Cambridge 1711, mais on préfère l'édition d'Amsterdam 1713'; Dibdin 2,101/05; Moss 2,21; Graesse 3,354; Ebert 10194) (Details: Wide margins. Back with 5 raised bands and traces of a gilt short title in the second compartment. Frontispiece, designed by J. Goeree and executed by Bernards, depicting a monument for Horace in a bucolic scene, with his bust on top; the god Apollo holds an laurel wreath above the poet's head; in the foreground an old satyr; a Muse, probably Thalia, wraps a garland around the pedestal. Engraved printer's mark of the Wetstein family on the title page. Title printed in red and black. Margins uncut. § The commentary is printed in 2 columns below the text) (Condition: Back very worn and scuffed, and with 3 small holes because of wear. Marbled paper on the frontcover wearing away severely. Paper on the lower board partly gone. Hinges cracking. Front pastedown inscribed. 4 gatherings browned) (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 2,406) 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) (Provenance: The inscription on the front pastedown reads: 'Jord, Bouw, Coen, Weerts' and 'Bergsma'. Four of these names refer to names of families of the Deventer city elite, 'Jord' is Jordens, 'Bouw' is Bouwer, 'Coen' is Coenen, 'Weerts' is Weerts. 'Bergsma' seems to originate from elsewhere. § Two ownership entries on front pastedown: the oldest reads: 'J. Weerts, 1786'. The jurist Johan Weerts was born in Deventer on January 17, 1769, and died in Utrecht the 15th of May, 1842. He attended the Athenaeum at Deventer, and studied law in Leiden. He was a lawyer in his hometown from 1791 till 1799, from 1802 Councillor at the 'Hof van Gelderland', Mayor of Arnhem from 1824 till 1842. From 1826 till 1842 he was a member of both Chambers of the Parliament. § Added are 4 pieces of scrap paper with texts written by J. Weerts, 2 with annotations in Latin & Dutch, and 2 with Latin prose compositions, with at the end the marks, a 7 and a 71/2, given him by his teacher. They were made when he was a boy at the Athenaeum of Deventer. He was 17 when he received this book, probably at the end of his school career. § The second ownership inscription below the name of Weerts is in pencil, the name 'Steenbach 1886' or 'Steendach 1886')) (Collation: pi2, *2 (first leaf signed *3), 2*-3*4; chi1 (half title of the second part, erroneously bound here after the preliminary pages, in fact this chi is the last leaf 4Y2, and should have been placed after leaf 3K3, p. 443, the beginning of the second part); A-2X4, 2Y2, 2Z-4X4, 4Y1 (4Y1 verso: errata); (a)-(2g)4 ((leaf (2g)4 verso blank) (The first leaves, pi2 and *2, have been described erroneously by STCN as 'pi1 pi2, *2'. This cannot be correct, for the first 2 leaves (pi2) form a conjugate pair, shown by the watermark. The leaves of *2 form also a conjugate pair, also shown by the watermark))(Gatherings 3N, 3O, 3V & 3X browned)) (Photographs on request) (Heavy book, may require extra shipping costs)
