Full Title: P. TERENTIA AFRI POET LEPIDISSIMI COMOEDIAE: Andria, Eunuchus, Heavtontimorvmenos, Adelphi, Hecyra, Phormio, ex emendatissimis ac fide dignissimis codicibus summa diligentia castigat, metris in suum ordinem recte restitutis, ac uarijs lectionibus in margine appositis ex collatione prostremarum editionum Aldini & Gryphiani exemplaris. Elenchum interpretum, qui in had comoedias docte simul & erudite scripserunt, proxima subinde pagina demonstrabit. Eorum qu in his interpretum commentarijs annotata sunt, index amplissimus. pp. [22], 154 [i.e. 308], 117 [i.e. 234, [8]. Lacks two leaves of front matter (*2 & *3). Various errors in pagination as recorded in other examples. Folio. 320 mm. Old full vellum binding. Double and triple column Latin text in Italic and Roman. Great many bold woodcut illustrations of the scenes appear throughout the volume, and add to its charm. The various early paper 'repairs' to the title probably cover up old ownerships. Written some time after these repairs is an ink manuscript notation: Della Libreria de S(an) Vincenzo (in Tuscany). CEdit Iniquos - which seems to identify the text and/or editing as unjust, evil, and/or wicked. not too unusual for pagan works. On the front flyleaf is the 18th or 19th century autograph ownership of A. Wallis (unidentified). Publius Terentius Afer (195/185-159 BC), better known in English as Terence, was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170-160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. He only wrote six plays. All survived, and are printed here. In this famous 1545 edition of Terence, Scoto, provided three summaries for the action of each scene by different humanist scholars of note. The innovation was immediately popular. The basic layout problem in the case of Terence was that the text consists of short scenes with much back-and-forth badinage while the apparatus was typically very lengthy. Early printers of these texts arranged the commentary for each scene all around the base text, creating a window or windows for the words of Terence. The resulting window-and-frame layouts are visually very lively, with each spread slightly different from the last, depending on the length of the commentary with respect to the text. As the sixteenth century progressed, however, it became more usual to employ a simple two-column format that placed the base text of each scene first and the commentary afterwards, alternating but running continuously from column to column. The four columns on a spread owned variety and visual interest because the text of Terence was set in larger type and more generously leaded than the commentary, but the result was rarely as handsome as the older layouts. This two-column format took over because it was much easier to set, correct, revise, and reprint than a window-and-frame. Similarly, fewer and fewer options were exercised in ornamenting and illustrating the folio text as the century wore on. Virtually the only ambitious editions from this point of view are this 1545 Scoto and the 1553 Cesano. These books preserve something of the grace of earlier folios, with scene-by-scene illustrations that characterized some folio editions in the fourteen nineties. Illustrations of individual scenes disappeared entirely after the 1555. The wonderful woodcuts are valued mainly for what they tell us of the Italian stage in the 15th and 16th century.

Lilly, Joseph (ed)Biblio.com

A Collection of Seventy-Nine Black-Letter Ballads and Broadsides Printed in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth between the Years 1559 and 1597

18671710London: Joseph Lilly. Very Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1867. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Original publisher's brown cloth gilt lettering on spine blind-stamped decorative front and rear panels brown endpapers fore and bottom edges deckle. Accompanied with an Introduction and Illustrative Notes. Four additional items are included with the book: 1 An autograph letter signed written on both sides of a sheet from the publisher Joseph Lilly dated August 21 1867 and sent from Covent Garden explaining how he acquired the rights to the current book as follows: "Dear Sir I gave L750 for the folio volume of the Old Ballads & Broadsides at the sale of the library of George Daniel Esq at "Sotheby's" Auction Rooms in July 1864. I do not know the date of Mr. Daniel's birth. He was about 75 years old at the time of his death. I think he was born in Newgate or . I think his father or mother's family was in the worsted trade. If I can get a portrait of him I will send it to you. Yours truly signed Joseph Lilly." 2 Another note is tipped-in to the front endpaper in a different hand as follows: "George Daniels Ballads With autograph note of Mr. Lilly the publisher stating that he gave upwards of L700 for the original. sic and Scarce portrait short Memoir of Mr. Daniel __ - Only a comparative few copies printed." 3 Also laid-in is the portrait of George Daniel referred to in Mr. Lilly's note and 4 a short somewhat poetic memoir of him curiously captioned "Memoir of D._ _G." The note on the endpaper describes the portrait and memoir as scarce as there were only a few copies printed. NB: A large number of the 19th Century acting editions are promoted as containing "remarks by D. _ _G" i.e. George Daniel. These remarks are usually two to three pages in length and contain relatively non-critical comments about the play and its production. These prefaces consist primarily of a synopsis of the play but occasionally they contain interesting anecdotes that shed some light on both the cultural and theatrical landscape of his time. Fortunately in a few of the scripts the critic's nom de plume is forgotten and he is identified as George Daniel 1789-1864. He was a descendant of a Huguenot family that settled in England in the 17th century. Even as a young man he was a prolific writer mostly of poetry but at the age of 18 he completed Dick Distich a novel in three volumes. Yet it would be as a poet that Daniel was to gain his first taste of pseudonymous fame as "P___P___ Poet Laureat." P___ P___ Poet Laureat's first poem was a "sprightly squib in verse" entitled "R_y_l Stripes; or a Kick from Yar_th to Wa_s; with the particulars of an Expedition to Oat_ds and the Sprained Ancle." It was an account of the horse-whipping given to the prince regent by Lord Yarmouth for "making improper advances" to his mother-in-law. The poem was immediately and simultaneously suppressed and highly popular. Daniel's original manuscript is kept in the British Museum. Broadly satirical pieces such as the poem described above brought Daniel into the company of "a number of literary friends" most notably Charles Lamb and Robert Bloomfield. At the same time his exposure to the theatrical milieu of London began to grow and he befriended some of the greatest actors of the time. The value that the actor John Kemble placed on his friendship was demostrated by a "white satin" bill of fare the actor presented to Daniel in the green-room at Covent Garden. This occurred on the night of Kemble's final performance there on June 23 1817. This memento is also the property of the British Museum. In 1818 Daniel made his debut as a playwright with a piece entitiled "Doctor Bolus." It was successfully presented at the English Opera House and at the Lyceum. He followed that one year later with "The Disagreeable Surprise" and in 1833 with "Sworn at Highgate." Yet it seems that George Daniel's greatest contribution to the arts of 19th century London is in neither his poetry or his plays but rather as an editor and book collector. Between 1823 and 1831 thirty-nine volumes of "British Theatre with Remarks Biographical and Critical printed from the Acting Copies as performed at the Theatres Royal London" were published by John Cumberland and edited by George Daniel. Fourteen more volumes were added by 1832. Later he also edited similar publications of acting editions for T.H.Lacy and Davison. The University of Washington a collection of many acting editions with remarks by Daniel from a variety of publishers. Bates refers to Daniel as a book collector one whose estate brought great wealth to his descendants when it was sold. His collection included a first folio of Shakespeare David Garrick's cane a cassolette or carved casket made out of the mulberry-tree from Shakespeare's garden as well as many other books and artifacts from the Elizabethan age. For ten days starting on July 24 1864 his entire collection was sold at auction. His heirs received 15865 pounds and 12 shillings. One of his greatest friends it seems was the artist Robert Cruikshank with whom he collaborated on many of the acting editions as well as on other publications. Daniel's last work was called "Love's Last Labour Not Lost" which contained recollections of both Charles Lamb and Cruikshank. " Dennis Barnett University of Washington.
