Vellum. Condition: Very Good. 17.5 x 10.5 cm. 16mo. Double-page title page, fontispiece, single page two color title, [24], 907pp. Bound in contemporary vellum. Plays in Latin language with German language commentary. Front gutter cracked but still holding. Soiling to the boards. Terrence (190 B.C. - 159 B.C.) was a North African slave of a Roman senator, Terentius Lucanus. He was the author of 6 major palys. His style deviated from earlier dramatic form. He avoided monologues, favoring dialogue that was more like ordinary conversation, devoid of flamboyance. His prologues were essays in literary crticism, and he was deeply concerned with unity in the plot, sometimes incorporating passages from other plays. He moved drama in the direction of realism and was influential on the writings of Cicero, Horace, and the early Christian Church fathers. This edition of his plays was prepared for German students with extensive notes explaining the most difficult passages, the Latin idiomatic expressions, and Greek roots of som eof the words. A long preface in German is a commentary on pre-Christian authors and their works.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A bit of a mystery edition. Bound in full vellum. 2.5" x 4.5". Probably early to mid 1700s, but could be earlier - I can find no other copies that match this one. Faded handwritten title on the spine. Text block originally sewn on 2 straps, now attached to the binding only by kettle-stitches. No title page. First page is page 3, which is the first page of the play Andria. This edition contains all 6 of Terence's plays, in Latin. 215 pages + a Life of Terrence (also in Latin), 4 pages. And 2 page Loca Menand, which appears to be incomplete, as the last page has a printers clue to what should be another page. Endpapers present. Name "Breymann" written on the ffep. Another name "E.W. Kalisch" on the other side of the ffep. Please email with questions, or, for that matter, with answers if you know the date/publisher of this edition.

En latin.Térence (latin: Publius Terentius Afer), né à Carthage aux alentours de 190 et mort à Rome en 159 av. J.-C., est un poète comique latin, vraisemblablement d'origine berbère. Auteur de seulement six pièces qui nous sont toutes parvenues, il est considéré, avec Plaute, comme un des deux grands maîtres du genre à Rome, et son uvre a exercé une influence profonde sur le théâtre européen, de l'Antiquité jusqu'aux Temps Modernes.
