Rare facsimile of the works of Roman poet Horace (65-27 BCE). Once the property of the Italian Renaissance poet and scholar Petrarch (1304-1374) with marginal annotations. The original manuscript (Cod. Laur. Med. Pluteus 34.1) stems from the late 10th to early 11th century and is held in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, Italy. The unusual cover is made to resemble wood and metal.
