Un volume in-16°, reliure velin ivoire avec le mot TERENTIUS écrit à la main sur le dos lisse. L'ouvrage débute sur un beau frontispice gravé par Louis Du GUERNIER (une scène de théâtre avec trois personnages, un décor un public en contrebas, soit debout soit assis).On trouvera ensuite 276 pages + un long INDEX de 154 pages (non numérotées). Après la page de titre, on trouvera le PRIVILEGE royal (en anglais) , suivi d'une DEDICACIO datée de 1713 adressée à Joseph ADDISON qui fut à la fois un homme d'état et un poète dramaturge anglais. Dans ce texte, écrit par Michael MATTAIRE on trouve entre autre une comparaison entre PLAUTE et TERENCE . Il faut signaler que ce Michael MATTAIRE , qui était un érudit bibliologue renommé, particulièrement compétent en matière de littérature gréco latine, a très certainement corrigé et annoté cette édition, dont il est sans doute aussi l'auteur du long INDEX, index particulièrement intéressant pour toute personne voulant étudier le théâtre de TERENCE dans sa langue originale. Vient ensuite une sorte d'ADRESSE au Lecteur écrite par TERENCE suivie d'une brève biographie de sa vie (sans doute rédigée elle aussi par Michaël MATTAIRE) et ponctuée par une jolie vignette (du reste, on trouvera dans cet exemplaire de nombreux bandeaux, vignettes et culs de lampe).Signalons que TERENCE (190-159 av J.C.), est considéré avec PLAUTE, comme le plus grand auteur comique latin. Il est réputé pour avoir affiné la comédie latine traditionnelle en la rendant plus psychologique, philosophique et littéraire que celle de PLAUTE.On trouve ici ses six grandes comédies, lesquelles nous ont été transmises intégralement: L'Andrienne, L'Hécyre, L'Héautontimoroumenos, L'Eunuque, le Phormion et Les Adelphes. Précisons que chez TERENCE, l'intrigue est grecque, les noms des personnages sont grecs, le lieu de l'action est grec pour la bonne raison que TERENCE s'est inspiré de MENANDRE, un grand auteur comique grec. Exemplaire en TRES BON ETAT. Seller Inventory # 50277

Second Grüninger edition, first published in 1496. It features some of the finest early illustrations of Renaissance costume and theatre, produced with Grüninger's method of "composite woodcuts". Johann Grüninger (c.1455-1533) was a Strasbourg publisher and printer who started his business around 1482 and soon distinguished himself for the artistic quality of his volumes; he printed nearly 300 titles between 1483 and 1531. The 1496 Terence was his first illustrated work, which established his reputation, and the first Latin illustrated Terence printed in Germany. The woodcuts are traditionally attributed to a local artist referred to as "the Master of the Grüninger Terence", although scholars have recently argued that Grüninger more likely employed a team of engravers. They are visually inspired by the earlier editions printed by Badius in Ulm (1486) and Trechsel in Lyon (1493), but produced using an ingenious technique: each scene is formed by mounting up to five small blocks next to each other. These "factotum" blocks, depicting characters (identifiable thanks to speech bubbles) and background images (plants or architectural elements), are rearranged in different ways throughout the work. This method was used for the first time by Thomas Anshelm in 1488, but perfected and popularized by Grüninger. These woodcuts are also excellent examples of the contemporary so-called Strasbourg style, characterised by "multiple, dense, long fine parallel hatchings. Any coloring is superfluous in these images with their dark strongly hatched backgrounds" (De Simone, p. 59). The frontispiece is regarded by theatre historians as one of the most characteristic depictions of an early modern stage. The spectators, dressed in the contemporary fashion, are placed on an elaborate structure above the playing area and peer down at the actors. The composition of the remaining six full-page woodcuts has been recently described by Laure Hermand-Schebat as the "real graphic originality" of the edition: "All characters are represented on a page, grouped according to the house to which they are attached. The character represented in the center is always the one who unravels the action. The engraving also aims to restore the plot of the play; the artist places the most distant events in time at the top of the engraving, inviting the reader to adopt a descending view to understand the successive twists and turns of the play. The aim is both educational and commercial" (trans. from Laure Hermand-Schebat, p. 7). Straight lines are used to connect characters who are far away from each other on the page. The Latin text is printed in the middle of the page, surrounded by Aelius Donatus's commentary, which includes a system of cross-references by letters, allowing easy return between text and notes. Guy Jouenneaux's commentary is placed between the lines of the plays and that of Jodocus Badius at the end of certain scenes. The editor was Jakob Locher, a humanist and dramatist, crowned "poeta Laureatus" by King Maximilian I in 1497. The colophon of this second edition includes the name of the "redactor" (the craftsman responsible for the layout), Johannes Curtus von Ebersbach, who was not mentioned in the first.
