Terence (Ca. 190-159 B.C.), the great Latin comic poet, was born in Carthage. He came to Rome as the slave of a senator, Terentius Lucanus. In the house of Lucanus he was educated like a free man and soon emancipated. His successful first play, 'Andria' introduced him to Roman society, and the circle of Scipio, Philus, and Laelius. His surviving six comedies are drawn from Athenian sources, especially from lost plays by Menander. Terence has been read for over two thousand years, and his influence on European literature cannot be overestimated. He imparted to Latin the sense of artistic elegance, consistency and moderation which made it a model for all literary epochs. In him we find a meeting-point for three great civilizations - the decaying Greece; Carthage, soon to pass away into oblivion; and nascent Italy, poised to absorb the world. John Baskerville (1706-1775) was the greatest printer of his era. Born in Wolverley, Hereford - Worcester, England, he became a writing master in Birmingham. He also carried on a successful japanning (varnishing) business there. In about 1750 he began to make experiments in letter founding, and produced the wonderful series of types now named after him. His first book, the Virgil of 1757, was also the first to be printed upon wove paper (manufactured by a process that he invented). In 1758 he be came printer to Cambridge University. All of his books bear show fine craftsmanship and a refined sense of design. In the last few years before his death, Baskerville published a few Latin classics in quarto and duodecimo. "All these bear the marks of unabated genius even in his declining days: and suffice, had he printed nothing else, to distinguish him as the first typographer of his time" - T. B. Reed, in 'Old English Letter Foundries' "Quot homines tot sentensiae; suo quoiqu e mos " So many men, so many opinions; a law of his own to each -- Terence. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED!! W154

22903No place or date. Book published in New York by Macmillan in 1965. 9pp 8vo. Complete carbon typescript. On nine leaves stapled together. Title at head of first page: 'THE BOAT THAT MOOED.' Fry's signature in blue ink at top left of first page: 'Christopher Fry:'. Fry has cut down the story by deleting and removing a passage. The lower part of the leaf carrying the sixth page of the story has been cut away and the original seventh page has been removed hence the typescript pagination 1-6 8-10 has been amended in manuscript to 1-9. A lighthearted faux-naive story replete with symbolism. Begins: 'Tom Crunch lived on a boat. All round the boat was water. There was water to the right water to the left water in front and water behind. And also water underneath. Up above there was the sky. Tom Crunch lived with his Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack was fat and sleepy. All day long he sat and fished in the water. Sometimes he was awake and sometimes he was asleep. It was hard to tell which he was because he looked just the same when he was awake and when he was asleep. He kept his eyes shut all the time unless he was eating fish. Then he kept his eyes open because of the bones.' There does not appear to have been an English edition of the book which was published in New York by Macmillan in 1965 with pictures by Leonard Weisgard. No place or date.

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. 1 corner bumped. ; Professor Winnington-Ingram's reputation as an authority on Greek drama is based on a lifetime's careful scholarship. In 1980 the Press published Professor Winnington-Ingram's book on Sophocles and in 1983 he followed it up with some studies on Aeschylus. This book explores the problems in Aeschylus' earlier plays: Persae, Septem contra Thebas and the Daniad trilogy. There is also an emphasis on different aspects of the Oresteia and finally, an examination of the peculiar problems in Prometheus Bound. A view of Aeschylean tragedy emerges - and of the poet's contribution to the development of Greek religious thought. Students of Greek drama will welcome this collection. Greek in the body of the text is translated, so that the book will be accessible to those studying Greek literature in translation and the literature and drama of other cultures. ; Beiträge Zur Altertumskunde.

19643067<p>New York: The American Theatre for Poets n.d. 1964.</p><p><br />A rare playbill from the New York Poets Theatre announcing plays by LeRoi Jones "The Eighth Ditch" Diane di Prima "Murder Cake" and Frank O'Hara "Loves Labor an eclogue. <br /><br />Jones later Amiri Baraka and di Prima were two of the founders of the New York Poets Theatre which operated in locations on the Lower East Side. <br /><br />"The Eighth Ditch" was Jones's first play and was originally presented at the New York Poets Theatre in 1961. The play derived from his larger work "The System of Dante's Hell" which ignited enormous controversy because of its explicit sexual content. <br /><br />In fact Jones and di Prima were arrested in 1961 on charges of sending obscenity through the mail after they had published "The Eighth Ditch" in their literary magazine "The Floating Bear." They also had published Williams S. Burroughs's "Routine: Roosevelt after Inauguration" in the same issue of June 1961. In any case the charges against Jones and di Prima were eventually dropped. See Steven Clay and Rodney Phillips A Secret Location on the Lower East Side page 75. <br /><br />The playbill presents biographies of the writers and listings of casts. There are also brief commentaries on each of the plays by directors Alan Marlowe on Jones and James Waring on di Prima. The playbill includes O'Hara's comments on his own play. <br /><br />Playbills of the New York Poets Theatre are extremely uncommon in the market. Many were cheaply printed and probably thrown away. In addition OCLC shows no institutional holdings of this playbill. None in commerce. <br /><br />PHYSICAL DETAILS: Printed wrappers measuring 8.5 x 7 inches 217 x 177 mm 8 mimeographed pages unbound. <br /><br />CONDITION: Sunning to extremities vertical crease.
