(XVIII),XXX,407,(12I = index),(1 blank) p. Half calf. 17 cm (Ref: cf Schweiger 2,405 for the first edition) (Details: Back gilt, endpapers and boards marbled) (Condition: Some wear to the extremes of the binding. Occasional ink & pencil marginalia. A few very pinpoint wormholes, almost invisible, in the blank lower margin, from p. 145 till the end) (Note: This school edition of Horace is the work of the French Jesuit scholar, poet and paedagogue Joseph de Jouvancy, or Jouvency, in Latin Josephus Juvencius, 1643-1719. Jouvancy entered the Society of Jesus when he was sixteen, 'and after completing his studies he taught grammar at the college at Compiègne, and rhetoric at Caen and the College of La Flèche. He made his profession in the latter place in 1677 and was afterwards appointed professor at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand in Paris. In 1699 he was called by his superiors to Rome to continue the history of the Society of Jesus begun by Niccolo Orlandini, and was engaged in this work until his death. (...) Jouvancy edited a large number of school editions of Latin authors, including Terence, Horace, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, the Metamorphoses of Ovid and the philosophical writings of Cicero, such as De Officiis, Cato Major and Laelius'. The texts were revised and purged for school use, and supplied with footnotes in Latin. 'These expurgated editions were frequently reissued well into the 19th century, both in France and other countries'. (Source for Jouvancy Wikipedia) The first Horace edition of Jouvancy mentioned by Schweiger dates from 1697 (Paris). In the stream of many hundreds of 18th century (school) editions of Horace we counted 13 of Jouvancy, 1706, 1708, 1714, 1717, 1722 (?), 1728, 1736, 1737, 1754, 1754, 1794, 1790, 1814. Seven of them were published in Rouen. There may of course be more editions, for Schweiger does not mention our 1790 edition) (Collation: *6, a-c6; A-2M6) (Photographs on request)
