About This Item

A few unobtrusive smudges, but pages generally bright and clean and free from marking, soiling and staining. Bound in contemporary calf with gilt ruled borders.

Loss to head and tail of spine and covers worn. Front cover detached. Provenance: Library of Samuel Hart, with clipping from late 19th Century New York newspaper regarding a performance of Horace and small bookplate/label inside front cover. From the library of Samuel Hart, which experienced a fire that damaged a number of books. As a result, items from Hart's library are extremely rare. Samuel Hart (1845-1917) was dean of the Berkeley Divinity School, the (un)official "middle way" seminary of the Episcopal Church at Middletown, Connecticut. In 1886, he became the third custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer. In 1892, he became secretary of the House of Bishops. In 1898, he became the fourth historiographer of the Episcopal Church. He served in all three of these offices until his death. (In 1893, he was elected Bishop of Vermont, but he declined the office.) He was also (in 1891), elected president of the American Philological Association, a non-profit scholarly organization devoted to all aspects of Greek and Roman civilization. Originally its members studied a great variety of texts and languages, but as disciplines such as linguistics and modern languages created their own societies, the APA came to be concerned with classical antiquity and closely related fields. It is the preeminent association in the field. Hart published editions of Juvenal (1873) and Persius (1875) among other works. A unique association copy.
