BANDUSLE FONS

Volume 4 · 74 words · 1860 Edition

a fountain in Apulia, about six miles south of Venusia, celebrated by Horace, Carm. iii. 13. Some, however, suppose that this fountain is the modern Fonte Bello, near the poet's Sabine farm in the valley of Licenza. In the older editions of Horace it is called Bilandusia, but in the best MS. the name is written as above. See Découverte de la Maison d'Horace, by the Abbé Chauny, vol. iii.; Otharius's Horace, Jena, 1848.)
