LUCRETIUS.

Titi Lucretii Cari de rerum natura libri VI. Ad optimorum exemplarium veritatem exacti. Quae praeterea in hac Patavina editione accesserint, epistolae subsequentis postremae paginae declarant.

First Volpi–Comino edition of Lucretius’s famous materialist and Epicurean poem, the most notable Italian edition of the eighteenth century. The present work is the product of the long-running and fruitful collaboration between the printer Giuseppe Comino and the scholars Giovanni Antonio Volpi (1686–1766), professor of philosophy and later of Classics at Padua, and his brother Gaetano. Despite its fame, the Volpi-Comino edition is in fact very closely copied from Thomas Creech’s (Oxford, 1695), even reprinting much of his and Tonson’s prefaces.
