Born to a wealthy family in Apulia, Italy, in 65 B.C.E., Horace studied philosophy and literature in Athens before becoming an officer in Brutus’ army.[1] After leaving the army and losing his family’s fortune, Horace went to Rome, where he worked as a clerk at the Treasury and started writing poetry.[2]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Horace de Dacier. Lat. Fr. 10.v. 8vo. and given by Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes. According to Philip Gaskell's bibliography, the Foulis Press published Xenophon's Hellenica and Agesilaus once, in 1762.[3] Both Brown's Bibliography[4]. George Wythe's Library[5] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown." As yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Dacier's edition of Oeuvres d’Horace.
