1621réf. RW1599Wittenberg:: Zacharias Schurer 1621. 1621. Small 4to. 25 ff. 1557 pp. 62 ff. Title vignette extensive index; occasional early & minor ink underlining. Original full vellum. Very good copy. Plautus is one of the most celebrated comic poets of Rome. This important edition by Gruter with Taubmann's commentaries is highly regarded. Jan Gruter 1560-1627 a Flemish-born philologist scholar and librarian at Heidelberg was the last curator of the Palatine library in Heidelberg at the time one of the greatest repositories of classical manuscripts in Europe. / "As custodian of the Palatine MSS Janus Gruter had always been ready to oblige scholars who publicly acknowledged his aid. The excerpts from the MSS of Camerarius which he sent to Taubman for his edition of Plautus 1605-12 were duly acknowledged; but he regarded with disfavour and endeavoured to discredit the Plautine labours of Philipp Pareus. . .In the third edition of Taubmann's text Gruter attempted to reflect on the accuracy of Pareus by stating that the text of Taubmann had been bona fide collated by the librarian himself with that of the MSS." – Sandys A History of Classical Scholarship vol. II p. 362. CONTENTS being all 20 extant Varronian plays by Plautus: 1. Amphitruo; 2. Asinaria; 3. Aulularia; 4. Captivi; 5. Curculio; 6. Casina; 7. Cistellaria; 8. Epidicus; 9. Bacchides; 10.

1597réf. 70284Lugduni Batavorum: ex officina Plantiniana apud Franciscum Raphelengium 1597. 4to pp. 16 695 17; collating: â´ 4 A-Zâ´ a-3uâ´; printer's woodcut device on title page; woodcut initials; text in double column; contemporary full limp parchment with extensive ink notation on upper cover and titling on spine; early ownership inscription at the bottom of the title page of Zanius Dacier dated 1602. The cover notes quote Martin Marie Charles de Boudens Vanderbourg who edited an edition of Horace in 1812 so this quote likely dates to after 1812. The complete annotated Horace by the humanist Cruquius 1520-1584 who was Latin schoolmaster at Bruges. The 'commentator vetus' known as Commentator Cruquianus "is a collection of scholia published by Cruquius from various mss. notably the four codices blandinii which were destroyed by fire in 1566 with the Benedictine abbey Blandigny near Ghent" OCLC. "'Cruquius' says Dr. Harwood 'is deservedly esteemed one of the best commentators on Horace. Consult the notes in these editions on any of the difficult passages in Horace and you will have your doubts satisfactorily solved.' Barthius and Tanaquil Faber think but slightly of Cruquius: they observe and in this observation Mitscherlich seems to concur that he has performed little more than the old commentators Acro and Porphyrio. Harles thinks that Cruquius is not equal to Lambinus in research ingenuity and general critical knowledge: yet Baxter has not scrupled to call Lambinus Cruquius and Torrentius the 'tria Horatii lumina'" Dibdin.
