It grew out of a core of papers first presented at the conference Text, Illustration, Revival: Ancient Drama from Late Antiquity to 1550, which the two editors organised at the University of Melbourne from 13 to 15 July, 2011. Turner was at that stage employed at the University of Melbourne on the project The Transformations of Terence: Ancient Drama, New Media, and Contemporary Reception, supported under the Australian Research Council’s Discovery Projects funding scheme (proj- ect number DP110101571, awarded to Bernard Muir and K.O. Chong-Gossard), while Torello-Hill was a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland. We received strong support for this conference, both financial and logistical, from the Australasian Society for Classical Studies (ASCS), the Classical Association of Victoria, and the University of Melbourne, and take this opportunity to thank these bodies and the individuals concerned. In particular, we wish to thank former ASCS President John Davidson, who personally attended the con- ference, and from the University of Melbourne Andrew Jamieson of the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies and Marcus Bunyan from the Faculty of Arts, who designed our excellent web pages. Despite the broad scope of this conference title, the majority of papers in fact related specifically to aspects of the reception of Terence, and so after- wards, when we first discussed publishing a collection of chapters, a decision was made to focus on this one author and topic—nevertheless, we acknowl- edge gratefully the participation in the conference of colleagues who pre- sented on other classical authors. As well as chapters by both editors, we also had contributions from Muir and Chong-Gossard, who had presented on their research for The Transformations of Terence, and from our international guest speakers Gianni Guastella and Chrysanthi Demetriou. By writing to prominent researchers in this field to see if they would be interested in contributing, or could recommend anyone else whose work could supplement the works we already had, we eventually obtained the agreement of Beatrice Radden Keefe, Salvatore Monda, and Claudia Villa to submit chapters. We then approached Brill with a proposal, and were delighted when it was accepted by Metaforms in September 2012. In addition to our contributors, who have displayed great academic skills and professionalism throughout, we have many institutions and individuals x preface to thank. Our editors at Brill, initially Caroline van Erp and over the crucial last twelve months Tessel Jonquière and Pieter te Velde, have been enormously helpful, and we gratefully acknowledge all their assistance and understand- ing. We have benefitted greatly from a publication grant from the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies (generously supported by the Head of School, Trevor Burnard) and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, and would like to thank too the administrative staff there for their assistance. In a work which is so dependent on images, we have relied heavily on the goodwill and professionalism of libraries and librarians, and would like to acknowledge gratefully the Bodleian Library (Oxford), the Bibliothèque natio- nale de France, the Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, and the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (Paris), the Bibliothèque municipale de Tours, the Royal Library (Copenhagen), the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (Darmstadt), and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (Munich). Special thanks are due to the Christchurch Fine Art Gallery and their librarian, Tim Jones, for arranging the cover illustration for this volume. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Bernard Muir. A prolific publisher, both in traditional and digital format, and an acknowledged author- ity on palaeography and manuscripts, he has consistently provided us with answers to tricky questions, and with straightforward and accurate advice. He has also been unstinting with his time in proof-reading and correcting errors, both obvious and subtle, and this book is very much indebted both to his eru- dition and his constant encouragement. At the University of Queensland, Gary Ianziti has provided us with encouragement and the solace and inspiration of conversations on various aspects of the Italian Renaissance. Finally, we would like to thank our families and friends, who have been enormously supportive throughout this lengthy process—quite simply we would not have been able to complete this book without them.

Oosterhoff, University of Edinburgh, [email protected] Argument: Students entered Renaissance universities as apprentices in the craft of books. In the decades around 1500, such university training began to involve not only manuscript circulation, but also the production and the use of books in the new medium of print. Through their role in the crafting of books, I show how a circle of students around Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples gained the experience needed to become bookmen.

  • Reading Horace in 1490S Padua: Willibald Pirckheimer, Joannes Calphurnius and Raphael Regius
    Int class trad (2016) 23(2):85–107 DOI 10.1007/s12138-015-0386-y ARTICLE Reading Horace in 1490s Padua: Willibald Pirckheimer, Joannes Calphurnius and Raphael Regius Paul White1 Published online: 11 January 2016 © The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Horace’s Epistle I.2, a poem about the benefits to be derived from reading Homer, was a key text for the grammarians and commentators of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, since it provided an ethical justification for the centrality of poetry to education.1 If medieval commentators were anxious about the use of pagan poetry in Christian education, they had only to emphasize the moral instruction it furnished by means of example and negative example. Discussions of intention and utility in the prologues habitually presented poetic texts as reprehending vice and commending virtuous conduct. In the Renaissance, such exemplary readings of poetic texts persisted, frequently identified with the aims and methods of epideictic, the rhetoric of praise and blame.2 Such readings were central to the way study of poetic texts was framed and justified in theory; practice was, perhaps, a different matter. Despite the claims made in prefaces and accessus that the study of poetry provided a solid moral education for the 1 Generally on this poem see: Catherine Keane, ‘Lessons in Reading: Horace on Homer at Epistles 1.2.1- 31’, Classical World, 104.4, 2011, pp. 427-50. 2 Suzanne Reynolds, Medieval Reading: Grammar, Rhetoric, and the Classical Text, Cambridge, 1996, pp. 14-15.

  • The C Ompendium S Axonis
    T HE A NGERS F RAGMENT AND THE A RCHETYPE OF THE C OMPENDIUM S AXONIS Af Ivan Boserup In 1920, Emil Rathsach argued that the autograph manuscript of Saxo’s Gesta Danorum, of which the so-called Angers fragment is a part, served as archetype of the fourteenth-century Compendium Saxonis, and that the au- thor/abbreviator can be identified as the so-called “third hand” of the An- gers fragment, responsible for nearly fifty short annotations. Rathsach was challenged in 1989 by Anders Leegaard Knudsen, followed by Karsten Friis-Jensen in his 2005 Saxo edition. It is argued in the present paper that only Rathsach’s identification of the “third hand” as the editor/abbreviator himself has yet been challenged, not, however, the relationship between the Angers manuscript and the textual tradition of the Compendium. In this au- thor’s view, this implies that Thomas Riis’ research (1977 and 2006) re- garding the original book division of the Compendium (and, hence, that of the Angers manuscript) must be positively reconsidered, while Riis’ further theories concerning medieval or renaissance manipulations with the book division of the Saxo vulgate (Paris 1514) have - with good reason - been by- passed in silence by Friis-Jensen. The two-volume edition of Gesta Danorum edited by Karsten Friis-Jensen, including the Danish translation of Peter Zeeberg (Saxo 2005), is a turning point in Saxo Grammaticus scholarship. It closes the era initiated in 1879 when the four quarto leaves of the so-called Angers fragment of Saxo’s autograph draft of his chronicle were published (Bruun 1879a).
