CENSORED, AND WITH MANUSCRIPT VERNACULAR TRANSLATIONS TERENCE Afer, Publius.
Comoediae: Andria, Eunuchus, Heautontimorumenos, Adelphi, Hecyra, Phormio, ex emendatissimis ac fide dignissimis codicibus summa diligentia castigate …
A profusely annotated copy of an excellent illustrated edition of Terence’s comedies. The early owner and annotator clearly took issue with this edition’s association with Protestant thinkers: Melanchthon’s and Erasmus’s names are struck through in ink in the preliminaries, which contain, respectively, their ‘argumenta’ and study of metre. Moving to Terence’s text, however, the annotator assumes a much more creative profile: while the marginalia in Latin are textual or philological in nature, or citations from other classics, the much more abundant marginalia in Italian are accomplished snippets of translation, and represent a considerable body of work which may add to our understanding of early vernacular renditions.
