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.

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
