The first Lambin edition of Horace, and the best edition before Bentley. 'He had gathered illustrations of his author from every source; and he had collated ten MSS, mainly in Italy. The text was much improved, while the notes were enriched by the quotation of many parallel passages, and by the tasteful presentment of the spirit and feeling of the Roman poet' (Sandys). Lambin demonstrated here a new type of criticism: "the readers he has foremost in mind are not schoolboys . so much as his professional colleagues . The judicious reading of the text of Horace is the business of Lambin in his general comments as well as in his discussion of manuscript variants. He elucidates Horace's pronouncements on poetry by very exact, very cogent paraphrase which makes fine distinctions of meaning. (Cambridge Hist. of Lit. Crit., III, p. 76). Even the typography, like the editing, "marks a new æra" (Dibdin) - the poems are printed in full and followed by a commentary arranged by lemma, in place of the medieval tradition of surrounding small portions of text with commentary; this is also 'one of the first [editions] to use italics to differentiate commentary from lemmas, boldface to distinguish the lemma itself . All of these changes point to an increased presence of the editor in shaping the text' (Tribble, Margins and Marginality, pp. 66-67). The signatures and two-part arrangement evidently confused the binder of this copy, since it has been arranged with the last half of the second part at the end of the first, and vice versa; the signatures thus run through three complete alphabets instead of the first part ending at S before the second starts again.
