Specialist Notes

This interesting, representative edition of the linguistic studies of the sixteenth-century Tuscan grammarian Giovanni Fabrini, a profound expert on Latin and a staunch advocate of the dignity of the vernacular, contains three works: Terence in Latin, with an elegant frame commentary in the vernacular on the Latin poet's verses; The Interpretation of the Volunteer and Latin Language; and Observations in Terentium.
