‎12mo. 498,(6 blank) p. Vellum 12.5 cm (Ref: Geerebaert 138,11,6; OiN 362) (Condition: Binding scuffed, spotted and soiled. Frontispiece removed. Oval stamp on the title. Some worming in the blank upper margin, occasionally nibbling at letters. Paper yellowing) (Note: The late antique grammarian Aelius Donatus (4th century A.D) wrote not only a commentary on the plays of the Roman playwright Publius Terentius Afer, ca. 190-159 B.C., but also a short biography, in which he tells that Terentius was born in the Roman province Africa and that he came as a slave in the houshold of the senator Terentius Lucanus. He adopted his name when he was manumitted. Terentius is the author of 'fabulae palliatae', which means 'plays in Greek cloths'. He adapted Greek plays, especially those of the Greek playwright Menander, to the taste of the Romans. Six of his comedies have survived. For later generations he became a model for elegant Latin. His style was closer to everyday conversation than Plautus', an earlier contemporary comic playwright, whose style was more extravagant. He was quoted by Cicero, Horace, Persius and the Church Fathers. Ever since antiquity he lived also a long and influential life in schools as a model for Latin language and rhetoric. In the Middle Ages he was read for his moral sentences. He was imitated by the German abbess Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim (ca. 935 - ca. 973) in her 'Dramenbuch', with which she wanted to create a Christian alternative for the pagan comedies. With the coming of humanism Terentius enjoyed a renaissance in the classroom and on stage. Scholars rejected the 'barbaries' of Medieval Latin and chose the elegance of Cicero and Terentius as their model. In his 'De ratione studii' (1511) the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, 1466-1536, encouraged the study of Terentius for his language and moral utility. 'Among Latin writers, who is more valuable as a standard of language than Terence? He is pure, concise, and closer to everyday speech and, by the very nature of his subject matter, is also congenial to youth'. (The Classical Tradition, 2010, p. 930) Erasmus published later in life, in 1532, an edition of Terentius' plays. Erasmus seems to have learned the whole of Terentius by heart in his youth. He admired the author for his 'latinitas' and his civilized humor. His ideal as a humanist and pedagogue was the creation of better men with the help of the classics. He held the opinion, that schoolboys should read Terentius over and over again. Thus they could master a pure Latin style, and learn at the same time good morals. Several Dutch humanists wrote 'Dialogi pueriles', fictitious dialogues to train schoolboys to converse in Latin; conversations which much Terentius in it. The first Dutch translation of Terentius appeared in 1555 in Antwerp. Almost one century later 2 other new translation followed. In 1646 the remonstrant reverent Henricus Oosterhaern published a prose translation in Rotterdam. His translation is as literal as possible. His aim in didactic. He hopes that his readers will polish their speech and style when reading Terentius, that they will learn from Terentius a 'suyvere en cierlijke manier van spreken en schryven'. (P.J.M. van Alphen, Nederlandse Terentius-vertalingen in de 16e en 17e eeuw, Tilburg 1954, p. 95) Two years later, in 1648, Rotterdam saw the next and more elegant prose translation, now by another remonstrant, the schoolmaster Henricus Zwaerdecroon, since 1634 Rector of the 'Schola Latina Erasmiana'. (NNBW 5.1182/83) In the dedication in this edition to his 'alumnus' Adrianus de Matenesse, Zwaerdecroon dwells on the diligence and enthousiasm he and other old schoolboys displayed while reading Terentius. On their request, Zwaerdecroon tells us, and because they are leaving for the university he made this translation. Sometimes we find in the Dutch translation words or passages printed in italics. Those words and passages have been added to improve the Dutch, and to explain matters. The edifying comedies of Terence were not only read by schoolboys. The Dutch philosopher Spinoza must also have studied his Terentius very thoroughly. In his work hundreds of quotations and borrowings from Terence can be traced. Spinoza used them to define and illustrate human feelings, weaknesses and passions. (F. Akkerman, Spinoza's tekort aan woorden, Leiden, 1977, p. 3) In the same year as this edition (1648) the Rotterdam printer Naeranus brought a translation only edition on the market. This translation was reissued again in 1668, this edition) (Provenance: Stamp on the title: 'Bibliotheek Missiehuis Tilburg) (Collation: A-X12 (leaves X10, X11 & X12 blank. leaf A2, the frontispiece, gone) (Photographs on request) ‎

The 2 frontispieces are the same, they are made by P. van Cuyk; they depict a kneeling poet (Terentius), who offers a scroll to a seated Apollo, who offers him in return a laurel wreath; up in the sky hovers Fama, blowing her horn. Terentius' full page portrait is engraved after a portrait from the so-called 9th century Vatican Terence (Terentius Vaticanus, or Codex Vaticanus Latinus 3868)) (Condition: Bindings age-tanned and somewhat soiled. Vellum damaged at the lower edge of the upper board of the 2nd volume. Endpapers detached. Tiny wormhole at the upper margin of the last 2/3 of the first volume, sometimes nibbling at a letter. The paper of 13 gatherings (more than 100 pages) in the index is browning) (Note: The late antique grammarian Aelius Donatus (4th century A.D) wrote a short biography of the Roman playwright Publius Terentius Afer, ca. 190-159 B.C, in which he tells that Terentius was born in the Roman province Africa and that he came as a slave in the houshold of the senator Terentius Lucanus.

With the coming of humanism Terentius enjoyed a renaissance, on stage and in the classroom as textbook. He was studied enthousiastically by scholars, students and schoolboys. Scholars rejected the 'barbaries' of Medieval Latin and chose the elegance of Cicero and Terentius as their model. In his 'De ratione studii' (1511) the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus encouraged the study of Terentius for his language and moral utility.

Thus they could master a pure Latin style, and learn at the same time good morals. From the 15th till the 17th century Terentius' plays were frequently staged in schools. The German scholar Arnold Heinrich Westerhoff, latinized as Arnoldus Henricus Westerhovius, ca.1677-1738, was rector of the Schola Latina of the Dutch city Gouda from 1711. In 1726 he published in two fat quarto volumes this sumptuous and very scholarly edition, with a copious index. It remained popular throughout the 18th century. It should be admired, according to Dibdin, more 'for elaborate care and research, than for exhibiting any critical niceties of construction of the text'. The edition contains the commentary of the 4th century A.D. Roman grammarian and teacher of rhetoric Aelius Donatus, the observations from the commentary of the 6th century grammarian Eugraphius, and the learned notes the German scholar Heinrich Lindenbrog, 1570-1642. Lindenbrogius (also named Lindenbruchius) studied classics in Leiden under the famous J.J. Scaliger. After his studies he made a tour which brought him and his friend Johannes van Wouweren to France, to the monastery of St. Victor. It was told that they stole there with the help of a monk 16 manuscripts. They became known as 'Les Corsaires de Hamburg'. He was arrested, but came free with the help of the French scholar Pierre Dupuy (Puteanus), the son of the humanist and famous bibliophile Claude Dupuy, who was a great collector of manuscripts. Little is known of the rest of his life. From 1610 onward till his death, Lindenbrog was the librarian of the Duke Johann Adolf von Holstein, who had assembled in Gottorp a great collection of books. (ADB 18,693) In the preface to his Terentius edition of Frankfurt 1623, Lindenbrogius confesses that he also was imbibed with Terentius as a schoolboy, and still loved to read him.

In the 15th and 17th century his plays were frequently staged in schools. This London edition of 1776 is a reissue of the 1688 London version of Terence's comedies from the Delphin series ('Ad usum Delphini), edited by Nicolas Camus (1610-1677) and originally published in Paris in 1675. In the dedication we are told that Terentius was the favorite author of the young prince Louis of France, and that he could find in this edition, besides the elegance of the Latin language, examples of the noble customs and the wisdom of the Romans. Louis of France was born in 1661 as the eldest son of Louis XIV, King of France. His title was, as the heir apparent to the throne, Dauphin (Delphinus). (As he died before his father, he never became king) This 'Ad usum Delphini' edition was a tremendous success, especially in England. In the English Short Title Catalogue we found till 1800 no less than 17 editions.

According to the rules his time spent in the Indies was just too short for a pension. She asks for lenience, for se does not have the means to pay for proper care her son who was looked after in the mental institution Veldwijk in Ermelo.

He added to the text the commentaries of the Roman grammarian and rhetorician Aelius Donatus, 4th century AD, and the 6th century AD grammarian Eugraphius.

One of the several 'Terentius for beginners', and a popular one too, was produced by the Dutch schoolmaster Johannes Min-Ellius, ca. 1625-1670. He was educated at the Erasmianum at Rotterdam, and was until his death a Praeceptor at the same school. Minellius, or Min-ellius, produced several school editions of classical authors, such as Horace, Florus, Vergil and Ovid, with ample annotations in easy Latin. His first school text of Terentius, with his numerous notes and commentary, was first published in 1670 in his hometown Rotterdam. At the end of the 17th and in the 18th century reissues of his Tererentius' schoolbook were widely used, not only on Dutch grammar schools, but also on German, English and Danish schools.

‎8vo. (XXVI),643,(1 blank) p. Pigskin binding, over wooden boards and dated 1565. 17.5 cm (Ref: VD16 T 456; cf. Schweiger 2,1059; cf. Renouard, Annales de l'imprimerie des Estienne, p. 43, no. 15; cf. Dibdin 2,470 for the Stephanus ed. of 1536) (Details: Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, dated 1565. Back with 3 raised bands, and its 4 compartments have blindstamped floral motives. The boards decorated with a triple blind-rolled frame; the outer frame comprising human figures, alternating with acanthus leaves; the central compartment of the upper board shows the female figure of Justice, who holds a sword and a pair of scales, below her 3 lines of worn away and unreadable text; in a compartment above Justice is blindstamped 'N.O', below Justice the year of the binding '1565'.

Edges of the first leaves thumbed. Right edge of the first 20 leaves stained. Pastdown of the lower board loose) (Note: Late in life the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, 1466-1536, published his edition of the plays of Roman playwright Terentius, who lived in the first half of the second century B.C. It was printed in Basel in 1532 on the presses of Froben. It immediately became the standard edition. The French scholar/printer Robert Estienne (Robertus Stephanus), 1503-1559, immediately saw the importance of the edition of Erasmus and, according to Schweiger, adopted the best part of the edition of 1532 for a new edition which he brought on the market in 1536. Stephanus added also the scholia on Terentius of the 4th century grammarian Donatus, which he had already published previously in 1529. We compared the 1536 edition of Stephanus with our Brylinger edition of 1561, and must conclude that this 1561 edition is a word for word reissue, from beginning to end (including the preliminary pages) of the Terentius edition of Robertus Stephanus. To complicate matters, the pirate edition of Brylinger of 1561 itself is a repetition of an edition which Brylinger had earlier published in 1543 (VD16 T 418). The layout and the typeface are the same. Terentius remained from antiquity through the Middle Ages, and in later centuries an example of style, and a rich source for moral sentences. Erasmus seems to have learned the whole of Terentius by heart in his youth. He admired the author for his 'latinitas' and his civilized humor. His ideal as a humanist and pedagogue was the creation of better men with the help of the classics. He held the opinion, that schoolboys should read Terentius over and over again. Thus they could master a pure Latin style, and learn at the same time good morals. In his short 'praefatio' Erasmus says: 'Non ex alio scriptore melius discitur Romani sermonis puritas, nec est alius lectu iucundior aut puerorum ingeniis accomodatior' (page *3 recto) (Provenance: 'Eastern Europe, Jewish'. The first name on the front flyleaf is a small stamp: 'Ex libris Dr. O. Hönich'. We found on the internet one Dr. O. Hönich; Dr. Osias Hönich was a Jewish paediatrician living in Czernowitz, a city which till 1918 belonged to Austria, then till 1940 to Rumania, and from WW II to the Soviet Union, and now (since 1991) to the Ukraine (Tsjernivtsi). We cite an obituary of February 22, 1933 from Der Tag, a local newspaper (in German) of Czernowitz: 'Samstag, den 18. d. M., starb im Alter von 66 Jahren der Kinderarzt Dr. Osias Hönich, einer der geachtetsten und tüchtichsten Vertreter des Aerztestandes unserer Stadt. Abgesehen von seinen hervorragenden Eigenschaften als Arzt verfügte Dr. Hönich über ein bedeutendes Wissen und viel Verständnis auf künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Gebieten. Das Leichenbegängnis fand gestern nachmittags, vom Trauerhaus, Borobchiecigasse 3 aus, statt. Von seinen Sohen ist der eine Advokat in Czernowitz, der jüngere Maler in Paris'. The names of his sons are Felix Hönich, and Paul Konrad Hönich (Hoenich). The last one emigrated to Israel before WWII and became a succesfull painter. A photograph of Osias Höning, his wife Friederike and 2 of his kids can be found here: (www).geni.com/people/Dr-Osias-Hoschia-H%C3%B6nich-Henich/6000000007383326410. The second name, in ink, is Polish: 'Jan. Rogawski, Kolom(gji?)', 1876'. The third name: 'Josephi ..eislai Schind'; Schind might be a Jewis name, from Galicia and Bukovina, in German Buchenland, a region in Eastern Europe, half of which now belongs to Rumania and half to the Ukraine. On the title in old ink: 'Residentiae Sambonenis Soc. Jesu', 1702. What and where this 'residentia' of the Jesuits was, is hard to say) (Collation: a-z8, A-T8 (Leaf T7 verso blank, minus blank leaf T8) (Photographs on request) ‎

‎PUBLII TERENTII CARTHAGINIENSIS AFRI COMOEDIAE SEX (Les six comédies du Carthaginois Publius Terentius Afer). (Texte en latin)‎

‎Jacobi Tonson & Johannis Watts MDCCXIII (1713)‎

‎Un volume in-16°, reliure velin ivoire avec le mot TERENTIUS écrit à la main sur le dos lisse. L’ouvrage débute sur un beau frontispice gravé par Louis Du GUERNIER (une scène de théâtre avec trois personnages, un décor un public en contrebas, soit debout soit assis).On trouvera ensuite 276 pages + un long INDEX de 154 pages (non numérotées). Après la page de titre, on trouvera le PRIVILEGE royal (en anglais) , suivi d’une DEDICACIO datée de 1713 adressée à Joseph ADDISON qui fut à la fois un homme d’état et un poète dramaturge anglais. Dans ce texte, écrit par Michael MATTAIRE on trouve entre autre une comparaison entre PLAUTE et TERENCE . Il faut signaler que ce Michael MATTAIRE , qui était un érudit bibliologue renommé, particulièrement compétent en matière de littérature gréco latine, a très certainement corrigé et annoté cette édition, dont il est sans doute aussi l’auteur du long INDEX, index particulièrement intéressant pour toute personne voulant étudier le théâtre de TERENCE dans sa langue originale. Vient ensuite une sorte d’ADRESSE au Lecteur écrite par TERENCE suivie d’une brève biographie de sa vie (sans doute rédigée elle aussi par Michaël MATTAIRE) et ponctuée par une jolie vignette (du reste, on trouvera dans cet exemplaire de nombreux bandeaux, vignettes et culs de lampe).Signalons que TERENCE (190-159 av J.C.), est considéré avec PLAUTE, comme le plus grand auteur comique latin. Il est réputé pour avoir affiné la comédie latine traditionnelle en la rendant plus psychologique, philosophique et littéraire que celle de PLAUTE.On trouve ici ses six grandes comédies, lesquelles nous ont été transmises intégralement: L’Andrienne, L’Hécyre, L’Héautontimoroumenos, L’Eunuque, le Phormion et Les Adelphes. Précisons que chez TERENCE, l’intrigue est grecque, les noms des personnages sont grecs, le lieu de l’action est grec pour la bonne raison que TERENCE s’est inspiré de MENANDRE, un grand auteur comique grec. Exemplaire en TRES BON ETAT.‎

Dos lisse orné et doré avec pièce de titre maroquin rouge. Légèrement frotté. Pas de rousseur. Bon état. Format in-16°(13x7).Térence (en latin Publius Terentius Afer), né à Carthage aux alentours de 190 et mort en 159 av. J.-C., est un poète comique latin, peut-être d'origine berbère. Auteur de seulement six pièces qui nous sont toutes parvenues, il est considéré, avec Plaute, comme un des deux grands maîtres du genre à Rome, et son oeuvre a exercé une influence profonde sur le théâtre européen, de l'Antiquité jusqu'aux Temps Modernes.‎
