HORACE.
69
The Epistles sueceed; having the title to each in lower-case letter.
The reverse of the last leaf presents us with the last verses of the poet,
and the termination of the volume, thus :
N atales grate numeras. ignoscis amicis
L enior 8c melior fis accedente senecta.
Quid te exempta iuuat spinis de pluribus una ,
Y iuere si recte nescis : decede peritis.
L uxisti satis. edisti satis atq; bibisti
T empus abire tibi est: ne poturn latius aequo
Rideat: 8c pulscet lasciua descentius aetas.

Date, Place, or JSfame of Printer. Folio.
There is good reason to believe this impression to be the fikst of
those which present us with the Commentaries of Acro and Porphyrio.
Maittaire, vol. i. p. 76*6, note 5 was of this opinion; although in de-
scribingthe type,he terms it ‘neat,’ as well as ancient—the first of which
is far from the truth. Count Reviczky has some very sensible obser-
vations in favour of the priority of this impression; which arise ne-
cessarily from a perusal of the introductory pieces, or letters, prefixed
to the text. An extract from one of these is given by Maittaire, ibid.
who adds, in a note, that from the expression ‘ libri omnes Horatii,’
it would seem that the Satires and Epistles were also printed: but
(he adds) these words must here be understood with reference only
to those books of Horace which the above Commentators illustrated
with ‘ Scholia.’ These prefatory epistles require to be better made
known to the reader.
On the reverse of the first leaf commences the address of John
Aloisius £ tuscanus advocatus’ to Franciscus Helius Parthenopeius;
concluding on the recto of the third leaf. The reply of Helius,
who has the additionai name of Marchesinus prefixed, commences on
HORACE.
