Q. Horatius Flaccus cum erudito Laevini Torrentii commentario, nunc primum in lucem edito. Item Petri Nanni Alcmariani in artem poëticam

First edition. Large printer's device on the title page and on the verso of the last leaf. Illustrated with a portrait of Torrentius and a second of Horace on copper. Horace's text in italics.
Full marbled blonde sheep binding, early 20th century, pastiche of a 17th-century binding. Spine with raised bands, decorated. Red morocco title-label and black morocco dating label. 2 corners darkened. Lacking at foot of spine.
An edition whose value lies in the commentaries by Laevinius Torrentius (1525-1595) on the odes, satires and epistles, Bishop of Antwerp and scholar, and those by Pierre Nanninck (1500-1557), Dutch scholar native of Alkmaar, who concludes the work by commenting on Horace's "Art of Poetry." Posthumous edition produced by the Jesuits of Antwerp, preceded by an Ode Horatiana by Father Andreas Schott.
