Plautus is one of the most celebrated comic poets of Rome. This important edition by Gruter with Taubmann's commentaries is highly regarded. Jan Gruter 1560-1627 a Flemish-born philologist scholar and librarian at Heidelberg was the last curator of the Palatine library in Heidelberg at the time one of the greatest repositories of classical manuscripts in Europe. / "As custodian of the Palatine MSS Janus Gruter had always been ready to oblige scholars who publicly acknowledged his aid. The excerpts from the MSS of Camerarius which he sent to Taubman for his edition of Plautus 1605-12 were duly acknowledged; but he regarded with disfavour and endeavoured to discredit the Plautine labours of Philipp Pareus. . .In the third edition of Taubmann's text Gruter attempted to reflect on the accuracy of Pareus by stating that the text of Taubmann had been bona fide collated by the librarian himself with that of the MSS." – Sandys A History of Classical Scholarship vol.
