Description: The full title in Latin is, Q. Horati Flacci Carminum Librum Quintum a Rudyard Kipling Et Carolo Graves Anglice Redditum et variorum notis adornatum ad fidem codicum mss. edidit, which translates using an online translator, as, Quintus Horatius Flaccus, Quintus from the book by Rudyard Kipling and Charles Graves, English rent and various marks provided for codicum manuscripts. equaling. The author is Aluredus D. Godley, and the publisher is identified as, "Novo Porto E Typographeo Yalensi MDCCCCXXI". Interestingly, MDCCCCXXI is not a legitimate Roman Numeral. If the publication date was to be 1921, which is a year after the first publication of this work in 1920, it would be, MCMXXI. Opposite of the title page is further detail on the generation of this book, "The First Work Published by the Fund by the Colorado Yale Alumni Association." Although the title page and Preface up to page 10 in the book is in Latin, the remainder of the book is in both Latin and English, with the corresponding English on the right hand of the two adjoining pages. The front paper cover is a pseudo jacket, attached to the book at the spine, but folding into the book with a cardboard front cover. There is some detachment of the front and rear halves of the pseudo-jacket at the spine, from the top, 2-3". Light foxing front and rear endpapers, otherwise 68 clean and solidly bound pages, no interior markings. From what I gather from internet research, this is a spoof - it is poems in the style of Horace by Kipling and Graves, translated into Latin. B11
