HORACE, (HORATIUS), The Satires. The Epistles. With introduction and notes by E.P. Morris. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1968. Reprint original edition 1939. 2 vols.in one. 254,239p. Original red cloth. Spine with gilt-titled vignette. Spine slightly bumped. Signature and address on paste-down endpaper. ‘The late Professor Morris’ edition of the Satires and Epistles has long been a model of what a college text of a classical author should be. Originally published in a highly regarded series but now long out of print, its carefully edited text and well-chosen notes tastefully preserve the full flavour of Horace’s pungent social criticism in the Satires and his gentler but more serious reflections in the Epistles. Technical scholarship, to be sure, will have modified our impression of Horace’s meaning in a few small points, but the general soundness and large sanity of Morris’ work is not thereby impaired. (…) It was the considered judgment of the American Philological Association’s Committee on Greek and Latin College Textbooks that this book should be added to its growing collection of older editions which are still eminently useful.’ (JOHN L. HELLER, Foreword, p.1). € 50.00 (Antiquarian)
