Item description from seller

Amsterdam: Rod. & Gerh. Wetstenios HFF (Wetstein), 1728. 3rd Edition . Very Good. The second Dutch edition of Bentley's edition of Horace in a contemporary polished full vellum binding;front and back blind-paneled with central decorative motifs, spine with raised bands and "Horatius Bentleii" in gilt on red label Page edges are cleanly guillotined and closely, faintly stippled red. Engraved frontispiece, title page in red and black, half-title between the two parts.Following the title leaf there are xxii un-numbered introductory pages,717 numbered pages (+ half title leaf between pp. 356 and 357). The verso pf P.717 is blank,the corrections listed in the 1713 edition having presumably been executed.There follows a 239 page index (corrected by Isaacus Verburgius, verso of P.239 and one following leaf blank.The binding is somewhat rubbed and darkened and would respond well to a careful cleaning. Cracking of the front joint has been expertly filled and small pieces of the corners and top-edge of the front free endpaper expertly reinforced/replaced. A length of cord (perhaps)has left a pronounde but smooth indentation in the last leaf, which gradually disappears during the receding 100 pages. We wonder whether this happened before the book was bound. A charismatic volume in a little less than very good condition; the vellum is cream; the binding image does not show this. We would like to know what is the expanded Dutch or Latin of "HFF". Inserted loose is a catalogue description by Blackwell Rare Books, the price being £350 or $525.…
