In-8, chocolate brown morocco, large decoration on the boards formed by red and black morocco listels crisscrossing each other forming a Renaissance style frame with highlights of azure irons and gilded fillets, spine with 5 nerves decorated in the same way, interior lace, gilded edges (Capé). Brunet, III-312 /// (24f.)-310. New edition of Horace's poems, more correct than the one of 1501 and increased by a treatise, De metrorum generibus, and by some notes. A superb copy, in an impeccable Renaissance style binding by Capé.
