    [The Two Art of Poetry Treatises by Horace and Boileau Despréaux, Collated from the Best Editions of These Two Poems]
    G.M.F. Michel|Brest 1819|28.8 x 43.4 cm|Relié

    New edition printed in 55 copies only (see publisher's foreword).

    Only one copy of this edition listed in the CCF (BnF).

    Contemporary temporary binding in full cherry paper boards, flat spine without lettering, minor rubbing to the binding.

    Foxing, restorations to the head and tail of the spine, lower corners worn, a dampstain to the lower outer corner of the final leaves.

    The text of Horace is in Latin only.

    This rare folio edition was preceded in 1815 and 1818 by two small-format printings intended for student use.

    The aim was to bring together in a single small volume the two principal sources of taste in versification, as upheld by classical pedagogy.
