Description:
Cambridge: ex officina Iohannis Legat, 1598. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary vellum, a bit rumpled, lightly soiled, text block loose at front. A very fine, crisp copy. Smudge on leaf C1, ink spot on leaf G2; small, faint dampstain to upper margin in gatherings E and F. Variable light damp-stain to lower, outer corner starting in gathering L, a bit darker in a few gatherings (L, O, Q); a few natural marginal paper flaws (not affecting text.). An important Elizabethan translation, Richard Bernard's 1598 "Terence in English" at last made these Roman comedies available to Latin-less English readers and performers. It has been argued that certain phrasings from Bernard's English Terence are found in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, All's Well That Ends Well, Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew, The Comedy of Errors, The Merchant of Venice, and Hamlet (see The New Shakespere Society's Transactions 1875-6, volume 4, p. 198 et seq.). Although numerous Latin editions of…
