1621RW1599Wittenberg:: Zacharias Schurer 1621. 1621. 4to. 25 ff. 1557 pp. 62 ff. Title vignette extensive index; occasional early & minor ink underlining. Original full vellum. Very good copy. 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. II p. 362. CONTENTS being all 20 extant Varronian plays by Plautus: 1. Amphitruo; 2. Asinaria; 3. Aulularia; 4. Captivi; 5. Curculio; 6. Casina; 7. Cistellaria; 8. Epidicus; 9. Bacchides; 10.

Monica Vitti Gabriele Ferzetti Lea Massari; dir: Michelangelo Antonioni; Janus Films. This is one of the ultimate groundbreaking films of the 1960s an existential narrative about a journey a man and a woman search for another woman who was close to both of them which effectively goes nowhere. Alienation is the subtext of the entire film which became the first of a famous trilogy which later included LA NOTTE and L'ECLISSE. There is a behind-the-scenes photo of director Antonioni with star Monica Vitti whose presence in this film made a major international film actress out of her. She is in five of the photos including two searing portraits. The other two focus on Gabriele Ferzetti who plays the woman whose disappearance triggers the failed search which consumes the greater part of the film.

He later became librarian at the University of Heidelberg. / Janus Gruter's "'eulogists have given him credit for acumen and judgment and even for elegance and an agreeable variety of style; but his reputation mainly rests on his laborious erudition.' Hallam . . . The merit of dividing the books of Livy into the chapters now in use belongs to Gruter who in the preface to his last edition of that historian 1627 states that he had done the same for other authors and that future editors were welcome to adopt the divisions which he had suggested." – Sandys Classical Scholarship Vol. II pp. 361-362.
