Terence
The Comedies
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley, 1853
What this is
Six comedies by a freed slave born in Africa, staged in Rome between 166 and 160 BC. His Latin was taught in schools for two thousand years, and “I am a man; I count nothing human foreign to me” is his.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
