DELPHIN CLASSICS (A. J. VALPY)
Series Note: The Delphin Series of the Latin classics was published by Abraham John Valpy (1787-1854). This series was edited by George Dyer.
The series was modelled on the celebrated Delphin edition of the Latin classics that had been published during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. That series was created for the education of Louis, le Grand Dauphin, heir to Louis XIV, and the series name, "Delphin", derived from the word "Dauphin", refers to that.
In preparing their books for publication Valpy and Dyer utilised the most reliable texts, interpretations, and indices of the 18th century French Delphin edition and supplemented those with the best variorum editions and literary notes from late 18th century editions such as the Zweibrücken (Bipontine) editions and the Variorum Classics.
Valpy's Delphin Series attracted 600 subscribers and was a commercial success. However, scholars soon criticised the series as having little originality and little critical rigour. One critic attacked the series as "this ramshackle assembling of old and in many cases virtually obsolete material".
