Walker 1761-1810 Irish antiquary writer and translator was a founder member of the Royal Irish Academy. An acute asthmatic he spent much time in Italy indulging his lifelong love of Italian literature; among his most important works is 'Historical Memoir on Italian Tragedy' 1799.

No copies found.</p><p>Publius Terentius Afer 195/185–159 BC better known as Terence was a playwright of the Roman Republic. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170–160 BC and he died young probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. Terentius Lucanus a Roman senator brought Terence to Rome as a slave educated him and later on impressed by his abilities freed him. All of the six plays Terence wrote have survived. One famous quotation by Terence reads: "Homo sum humani nil a me alienum puto" or "I am a man I consider nothing that is human alien to me." This appeared in his play Heauton. Terence's date of birth is disputed; Aelius Donatus in his incomplete Commentum Terenti considers the year 185 BC to be the year Terentius was born; Fenestella on the other hand states that he was born ten years earlier in 195 BC.</p><p>He may have been born in or near Carthage or in Greek Italy to a woman taken to Carthage as a slave. Terence's ethnonym Afer suggests he lived in the territory of the Libyan tribe called by the Romans Afri near Carthage prior to being brought to Rome as a slave. This inference is based on the fact that the term was used in two different ways during the republican era: during Terence's lifetime it was used to refer to anyone from the land of the Afri Africa meaning Northern Tunisia including Carthage; later after the destruction of Carthage in 146 it was used to refer to non-Carthaginian Berbero-Libyans with the term Punicus reserved for the Carthaginians. It is therefore possible that Terence was of Libyan descent considered ancestors to the modern-day Berber peoples. In any case he was sold to Terentius Lucanus a Roman senator who educated him and later on impressed by Terence's abilities freed him. Terence then took the nomen Terentius which is the origin of the present form. When he was 25 Terence left Rome and he never returned after having exhibited the six comedies which are still in existence. Some ancient writers tend to say that he died at sea. Like Plautus Terence adapted Greek plays from the late phases of Attic comedy. He was more than a translator as modern discoveries of ancient Greek plays have confirmed. However Terence's plays use a convincingly 'Greek' setting rather than Romanizing the characters and situations. Terence worked hard to write natural conversational Latin and most students who persevere long enough to be able to read him in the vernacular find his style particularly pleasant and direct. Aelius Donatus Jerome's teacher is the earliest surviving commentator on Terence's work. Terence's popularity throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is attested to by the numerous manuscripts containing part or all of his plays; the scholar Claudia Villa has estimated that 650 manuscripts containing Terence's work date from after 800 AD. The mediaeval playwright Hroswitha of Gandersheim claims to have written her plays so that learned men had a Christian alternative to reading the pagan plays of Terence while the reformer Martin Luther not only quoted Terence frequently to tap into his insights into all things human but also recommended his comedies for the instruction of children in school.</p><p>Terence's six plays are:</p><p> Adelphoe The Brothers</p><p> Andria The Girl from Andros</p><p> Eunuchus; Restoration poet and playwright Sir Charles Sedley modelled his comedy Bellamira: or The Mistress 1687 partly on this play.</p><p> Heauton Timorumenos The Self-Tormentor</p><p> Hecyra The Mother-in-Law</p><p> Phormio</p><p>The first printed edition of Terence appeared in Strasbourg in 1470 while the first certain post-antiquity performance of one of Terence's plays Andria took place in Florence in 1476. There is evidence however that Terence was performed much earlier. The short dialogue Terentius et delusor was probably written to be performed as an introduction to a Terentian performance in the ninth century possibly earlier. A phrase by his musical collaborator Flaccus for Terence's comedy Hecyra is all that remains of the entire body of ancient Roman music. This has recently been shown to be unauthentic.</p> Elzeveriana hardcover

179115114M. Luckman Coventry and J. Mathews 18 Strand London 1791. 2 parts in one vol. 12mo. on laid paper with an engraved frontispiece and 8 engraved plates some mild age-staining rather heavier on frontispiece and some plates contemporary name on title; strongly and attractively bound in early nineteenth-century half roan marbled boards tooled in gilt back with four flat bands elaborately tooled in gilt second compartment lettered in gilt red sprinkled edges a very good firm copy in well-preserved period binding. With three pages of hymns and single-page publisher's advertisement at rear. L6 has short tear not affecting text and neat repair at upper margin. The work is divided into two parts as often. Burder was a Congregationalist minister sometime active in Coventry who began life as an engraver but subsequently played an important role in the founding of the RTS. His edition of 'The Pilgrim's Progress' 1786 is the first to be divided into chapters and was frequently reprinted. This is apparently the second Coventry printing; we have a note of an earlier 1790 version issued by Luckman & Suffield. In the earlier issue the pagination is similar but the plates include a frontispiece to each part; here the number of plates remains the same but all are numbered for inclusion in the first part. Rare. ESTC lists only the 1786 edition. M. Luckman, Coventry and J. Mathews, 18 Strand, London, hardcover
