Bound with:

FINE UNSHADED TITLE WOODCUT OF THE AUTHOR LECTURING as his commentators work at their desks, the printer's geometric white-line woodcut device on the penultimate verso.
Bound with:

A WOODCUT OF A SATYR CHASING SCHOLARS AND SHAKING A BOOK AT THEM opens the text.
Ad I-III: THE COMPLETE WRITINGS OF THREE CLASSICAL AUTHORS preserved in a fine, localized contemporary binding. In large heavily leaded types, the texts in all three volumes are braced by commentaries on three sides. For Horace these are the 3rd-century Porphyrion, 5th-century pseudo-Acron and 15th-century humanists Christoforo Landino and Antonio Mancinelli. Persius appears here for the first time with the notes of Giovanni Britannico, Bartolomeo Fonti and Giovanni Bonardi. The Juvenal, with the second appearance of Britannico's notes, was unknown to Schweiger. In beautiful condition, from the Fürstenberg library.
