Halbleinen / Half cloth. Condition: Gut. 39 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - INTRODUCTION: Good wine needs no bush. Neither Horace, poet of enduring fame, nor Payson Wild, his competent interpreter, needs the doubtful service of this introduction. Fair souls they, if any have ever been, quales neque candidiores terra tulit. No doubt, too, many of the learned members of the Caxton Club, under whose Maecenas-like patronage this paper is published, could list me all the Incunabula Horatiana, and probably quote the colophon of each. Certainly there should be some kind of reverse English on an introduction by me of Mr. Wild to this coterie of his friends. As a country grows older, it very naturally becomes more conscious of its past and has more occasion to celebrate the anniversaries of significant events. Centennials, sesquicentennials, and even tercentennials have become fairly commonplace with us; but of late, through our Roman literary and cultural heritage, we are getting familiar with bigger and better anniversaries. In 1930 we celebrated the Bimillenium of Vergils birth, a world-wide tribute to a poet so humbly born that the very identity of the village of his birth is much questioned, and personally so shy, that if he were recognized by chance on the streets of Rome, he would escape by the first side-street or alley. Now we have Horace, of still more humble birth, the son of an ex-slave, a poet who was properly modest, but one who could stand a little demonstration. Holmes called this the pleasure Horatian of digit-monstration (Monstror digito prae- tereuntium, Odes IV, iii, 22). I am quite sure, however, of one or two Roman celebrations that will never be held. The historian Livy was so famous even in his own day that a Spaniard (some peritus Hiber, in Horaces well-known phrase) came all the way to Italy to catch but a glimpse of him, and straightway returned without further quest of the grandeur that was Rome. Petrarch said he would have come all the way from India. When Vesuvius was staging such a devastating spectacle at Pompeii, the younger Pliny, a lad of seventeen, sat reading Livy, and was so absorbed that he would not put the book down and step out to see what all the noise was about.
