Description:The six Latin Comedies of Publius Terentius Afer ('Terence'), written in the earlier second century BC, were well known in the ancient Roman world and continued to be popular into early modern times. They were used as teaching texts in medieval schools, and consequently there are over 600 surviving manuscript witnesses for the plays, about a dozen of which are illustrated. The manuscript edited here, Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS. Auct. F. 2. 13, dating from the mid-twelfth century, has illustrations occurring at the beginning of each scene, based on earlier Carolingian models, which in turn derive from Late Antique illustrations, but the artists responsible for them have recast them for their 'modern' (twelfth-century) audience. The manuscript also includes scholia, explanatory notes which have a complex textual tradition of their own.
