EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Terence, the renowned Roman playwright from the Republic era, born around 195 BC. The image is part of an edition of his works published in Barcelona, Spain, in 1518. Terence is shown as an older man, dressed in the attire of a clergyman or priest, with a laurel wreath on his head, symbolizing his literary achievements. He is seated at a desk or pulpit, surrounded by columns and a lamp, possibly in a scriptorium or library setting. The inscription at the bottom of the print reads "Terentius Afer," indicating that Terence was likely of African descent. Terence is known for his six surviving comedies, which were influential in the development of Latin literature. His plays, including "Andria," "Eunuchus," "Hecyra," "Heauton Timoroumenos," "Phormio," and "Adelphoe," continue to be studied and performed today. The engraving, produced during the 16th century in Catalonia, Spain, serves as a testament to Terence's enduring legacy in the world of classical literature.
