Limited edition of 160 numbered copies. Parchment-backed boards, paper cover-label, 8vo, viii, 59, [2] pp. Fifteen odes written in the 'style and spirit' of Horace contributed by Kipling (3) and Charles Graves (12). The poems are given in both Latin and English on facing pages, after a preface in Latin by Alfred Godley and Ronald Knox. Charles Graves described the orgins of the book in a letter: " It occurred to [Kipling] about the blackest time of the last war, end of 1917 and early months of 1918, as a means of keeping up one's spirits and distracting our thoughts from present troubles, and he wrote to me outlining his plan and making many admirable suggestions for subjects of the sham odes .he was 'the begetter' of the scheme. His next step was to secure a band of scholars to translate them into Latin, and he could not have got a better-equipped company, [Alfred] Godley, [Monsignor Ronald] Knox, [Alan] Ramsay and [John] Powell." The preface is written in the humorous spirit of the book, with references to a codex preserved in the 'Grosspaniandrumpinacotheca'and another in the 'Padoviensium Museum Trentunosettembrense'. Copy No. 47. Covers somewhat duststained and slightly marked, contents Near Fine and unopened.…
