Description
Edizione: a fine and important edition of terence's comedies, with the fourth century commentaries of donatus and others and the renaissance commentaries of erasmus, melanchchton, bembo and others, and "almost all the valuable treatises upon the author up to the period of its publication" - dibdin. this tall and handsome printing is also a very early illustrated edition, containing many delightful and lively small woodcuts.<br> all six of terence's plays are included, the author apparently died quite young and these are believed to be all that were written. they were first performed between 170 and 160 bc, and like those of plautus were adapted greek plays from the late phases of attic comedy. terence wrote in a simple conversational latin, pleasant and direct. aelius donatus, jerome's teacher, is the earliest surviving commentator on terence's work. terence's popularity throughout the middle ages and the renaissance is attested to by the numerous manuscripts containing part or all of his plays. two of the earliest known english comedies, 'ralph roister doister' and 'gammer gurton's needle', are thought to parody terence's plays.
