Zustand: molto buono. 3 vol. in-8, pp. (4), LXXX, 366; XVI, 478; XVI, 574, (12); leg. coeva in pelle, dorso a nervi con titolo e fregi oro. Frontespizi a stampa rossa e nera, testatine ed iniz. silogr., antiporta inc. con figure allegoriche, una testata inc. in rame con l'effigie di Clemente XIII cui l'opera è dedicata ed in fine al I vol. una grande "Carte topographique de la partie de la Sabine antique ou fut la maison de campagne d'Horace". Grande ammiratore e studioso di Orazio, l'abate Capmartin de Chaupy cercò a lungo la casa di campagna del poeta latino e individuò quel luogo ameno, che s'accorda perfettamente con i versi di Orazio, nelle vicinanze di Tivoli e più precisamente presso Vicovaro (anticamente Varia o Vicus Varius), sulle sponde del ruscello Licenza (il "Digentia" di Orazio). Pur di parlare del suo amato autore latino, l'abate francese coglie il pretesto per effettuare indagini storico-archeologiche: chiarisce punti oscuri di geografia e storia, rileva antiche iscrizioni, ritrova città perdute, indica la vera direzione di antiche vie, ecc. Bell'esempl. di opera poco nota e singolare (ex-libris Giannalisa Feltrinelli). Brunet VI, Table, n. 29450. Graesse II, 43. Book.…

The results of an extensive search to find Horace's summer home in the Sabine hills, near modern Tivoli, by Bertrand Capmartin de Chaupy (1720-1798), a Roman Catholic priest. Around 34 B.C. Horace was presented with the Sabine farm by Maecenas and it is felt that the rural atmosphere inspired many passages in his "Odes" and "Epistles". A very scarce, and attractive, set.…

First edition. Bertrand Capmartin de Chaupy (1720-1798) shows himself in this work 'le champion de l'autorité la plus absolue' (Dictionnaire de Biographie Française, vii, p. 1070.) Apart from this work, he published another work, opposing the Parlement in the matter of the "Grand Conseil" and for these two works he was exiled. He went to Rome where he studied Antiquity, collected an important collection of ancient money, and published a work in which he showed he had discovered the country house of Horatius. This work was an important topographical study of Rome and the roman country side. His exile being terminated in 1776 he returned to Paris with his collections (antique and medals) and an important library. - Small stain in upper margin of title-page and first few pages, copy with wide margins, rare.…
