"A most excellent edition. [and] a rare occurrence" (Dibdin) of Terence's six extant plays and the first of the imprints, the colophon dated Calendas Decembris, Anno 1551. With well over 100 fine woodcut scenes of actors upon the stage preceding the various scenes of the play along with numerous fine woodcut decorative initials all throughout.

All six of Terence's plays are included, the author apparently died quite young and these are believed to be all that were written. They were first performed between 170 and 160 BC, and like those of Plautus were adapted Greek plays from the late phases of Attic comedy. Terence wrote in a simple conversational Latin, pleasant and direct. Aelius Donatus, Jerome's teacher, is the earliest surviving commentator on Terence's work. Terence's popularity throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is attested to by the numerous manuscripts containing part or all of his plays. Two of the earliest known English comedies, 'Ralph Roister Doister' and 'Gammer Gurton's Needle', are thought to parody Terence's plays.…
