Continet Q. Horatii Flacci epistolarum libros duos, et sermonum, sive satirarum libros pariter duos

This edition contains the Epistles and Satires of the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known as Horace. The works were originally composed during the late 1st century BCE, a period defined by the Augustan transition in Rome, during which Horace used the satirical form to offer philosophical insights and social commentary on the complexities of urban life and political change.

This specific volume is part of a historical collection cataloged by the Austrian National Library. Its production reflects the long-standing tradition of reprinting classical texts for academic and humanist study. As a compilation of Horace's verse, it served as a foundational text for centuries of Western education, designed to balance wit with the Stoic and Epicurean virtues that Horace championed in his verse.
