Description
TERENCE. “Six comedies of P. Terentius, carefully emended—more so than ever before—by collating both Donatus’s commentaries and the finest, particularly the oldest, extant manuscripts; Aelius Donatus’s… along with whatever commentaries on them still exist, carefully corrected from an ancient manuscript transcribed by hand, with Greek passages also restored; Calphurnius’s most erudite commentary on the third comedy; and a most comprehensive index of those notes scattered throughout the commentaries.”
Paris, from the press of Robert Stephani, 1529. Folio. (The index and the final folio contain the errata and the colophon). Contemporary full fawn calf binding, covers decorated with a geometric design and cold-stamped metal tools.
A first folio edition printed by Robert Estienne with his mark on the title page; it contains the comedies of Terence with Donatus’s commentary. (Binding in poor condition, interior in good condition. Multiple pagination errors.)
