About This Item
Oxonii, E Typographeo Clarendoniano, 1722. 8vo, 217 x 131 mms., pp. [xxviii], 145 [146 blank], IX [X blank], including 16 pages of subscribers, engraved portrat frontispiece, title-page printed in red and black, engraved head- and tail-pieces, engraved initial letters, later 18th century calf, double gilt rule borders on covers, spine ornately gilt in compartments, red leather label; fronjoint slightly cracked, rear joint rubbed, but a very good copy. The Italian humanist and poet Marco Girolamo Vida or Marcus Hieronymus Vida (1485? 1566) wrote Latin poetry, and his De Arte Poetica, influenced by Horace, proved to be a useful text for 18th century aestheticians. De Arte Poetica was translated by John Hampson and published in Sunerland in 1793; Hampson had nothing but praise for the author, his works, and his life style, taking his due from the above book: "It happened, in the winter of 1790, that Tristram's Vida fell into my hands. On reading the Poetics I was so struck by the justness of the observations and the general elegance of the poem, as to determine to translate it."
