8 volumes, 12mo, text in Latin and French; title pages printed in red and black, engraved frontispiece in volume I; clean tear in B2 of volume I; faint old library rubberstamp on some fore-and bottom edges, otherwise a near fine set in contemporary full calf, gilt-decorated spines in 6 compartments, red and green morocco labels in 2. "Sanadon, who was a much better interpreter of Horace than either Du Hamel or Dacier, has diligently consulted the old commentators; but chiefly followed Bentley and Cunningham, especially the latter: Harles accuses him of having too great a fondness for allegories, "incautus allegorium versator." According to Mitscherlich and Harles, there was an edition of Sanadon published at Padua in 1774, 3 vols. 8vo. by Dorighelus, which is said to contain some good, and many bad criticisms. Of the above editions, the octavo of 1756 is the best" (Dibdin). Mills College Check List 676; Riedel-Horatiana A-190; Dibdin, Greek and Italian Classics (4th ed.) II, p. 107.
