Scrinium Classical Antiquity

FRAENKEL, E., Horace. Clarendon Press, London (...), 1957. XIV,464p. Original dark blue cloth. Spine gilt titled. Ex libris stamp T. Reekmans on free endpaper. Some erasable pencil markings and annotations in margins. 'Indeed this is probably the weightiest book on Horace that has yet appeared. No one could put it down without feeling greatly enriched in knowledge and understanding. Fraenkel’s acquaintance with forgotten as well as recent literature on Horace, and his grasp of the history of scholarschip, is formidable. His appreciative commentaries, for instance on the Journey to Brundisium and the Epistle to Augustus, and his appraisal of such delicate matters as Horace’s attitude to the gods, are models of their kind. The footnotes are a treasure of recondite knowledge and pithy obiter dicta. The book is beautifully produced, with very few misprints.' (L.P. WILKINSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1959, p.36). From the library of the late Prof. Dr. Tony Reekmans. € 30.00 (Antiquarian)

LEVI, P., Horace. A Life. Routledge, New York, 1997. 270p. Original black cloth with pictorial dust wrps. Lower corner back cover slightly bumped. ‘For all its positive intentions something of basic importance is missing from Levi’s volume, namely attention to Horace’s language, to imagery, say, or to the rhythm, figuration and rhetorical shape of his poems (…) and this lies in Levi’s desire to release Horace from the trammels of scholarship.’ (MICHAEL CJ. PUTNAM in International Journal of the Classical Tradition, 2000, pp.615-17). € 19.50 (Antiquarian)

GARRISON, D.H., Horace. Epodes and Odes. A New Annotated Latin Edition. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, 1991. 397p. Paperback. Upper corner slightly bumped. 'This edition comprises a text of the 'Odes', 'Epodes' and the 'Carmen Seculare', and some tow hundred pages of commentary, which explicitedly eschew critical or aethetic judgements. (...) In keepint with the undergraduate readership envisaged, there is abundant assistance with grammatical explication and poetic diction. There are useful maps of Horace's Italy and the Mediterranean basisn, as well as a glossary of literary or rhetorical terms, which reflects the emphasis which Garrison attaches to figures of speech and thought. The best feature of the commentary is the author's often-demonstrated ability to capture the essence of a Horation phrase in a pithy formulation (...).' (LINDSAY C. WATSON in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1994, pp.267-68). € 34.50 (Antiquarian)
