Terenzio Afro. Terentius cum duobus commenti. Venice, [Simon Bevilacqua, ca. 1485], An important incunabulum edition of Terence’s comedies Terentius Afro. Terentius cum duobus commenti. Venice, [Simon Bevilacqua, ca. 1485]. Folio (270 x 200 mm); [119] of 120 leaves. Title page and colophon embellished with antique drawings, annotations, and maniculae (the last leaf is missing; sporadic stains; some leaves are browned). 17th-century binding in full stiff parchment, handwritten title on the smooth spine, sprinkled edges. The work of Publius Terentius Afro, one of the greatest authors of Latin comedy, exerted a profound influence on European humanistic culture, thanks to the subtlety of its psychological analysis and its portrayal of human relationships. The presence of commentaries attests to the text’s popularity in humanistic circles and the role of printing in the transmission and study of the classics. Reichling 1085. An important incunabulum edition of Terence’s comedies
