Popis: It is difficult to reconstruct the beginnings of the printing history of Horace as they appear to be marked by uncertain attributions, some bibliographical ghosts, and strange episodes of bibliomania, often justified by a desire to backdate an initial publication considered too late for a classical author like Horace, who came to print only in 1470, despite the appearance of one of the most ambiguous documents of Horatian Epicureanism (the famous OdeDiffugere nives …) as an appendix to the first edition of the chief work of Roman stoic ethics, Cicero'sDe officiis, which was printed by Fust and Schoffer in Mainz in 1465. this confirms, on the editorial level, the scant interest shown by early Humanism in Horace's work, which also conforms with its subordinate role in teaching at the time. But the revival of Horace as a lyric poet already initiated by Petrarch is evident not only in the brilliant enterprise of Aldo Manuzio (theEnchiridio), but also in the interest shown by European editors (above all Christophe Plantin) in the philological restoration of the Horatian text as well as in the reception of its first translations.
