Horace Editions on View Sunday

Beginning next Sunday, March 14, there will be on exhibition in the Treasure Room of the Widener Library a noteworthy collection of early editions of Horace. This collection is one of the most complete in the country, and one of the specialties of the Library. Dating from the 13th century, and covering a period of several hundred years. the books offer as well a summary of the history of printing. Almost every printer of note tried his hand in putting out an edition of Horace, who was a very popular author during the whole Middle Ages, and thus the whole progress of printing can be followed in these editions.

At the opening of the exhibit, at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Professor Clifford H. Moore '89, of the department of the Classics, will speak on Horace. This lecture is one of a series of Sunday afternoon conferences on literary subjects to be held in the Treasure Room during the spring.
