Collation: a 6 b-c 8 d-z 6 A-E 6 F 8 (a1r title with full-page woodcut, a1v blank, a2r Directorio vocabulorum , a5v epitaph of Terence, a6r Vita , excerpted from Petrarca, a6v full-page woodcut, b1r text, F7v colophon, F8 blank). 179 leaves (of 180, without final blank; d6 and p4 supplied from another copy).

Type: 17:145 (title, headlines, etc.), 22:89 (title, text), 23.64 b (commentary), 4:48 (point letters). 165 woodcuts, of which 8 are full page, a few touched with amateur early colour, character names written in blank banderols, large woodcut ornamental initial opening the Life, initial spaces with guide-letter. (Some staining, small wormholes touching some letters, occasionally repaired, a few repaired marginal tears.) 17th-century calf, gilt spine, 19th-century paper spine labels (neat repairs at spine, small stain on back cover, new endpapers); modern box. Provenance : contemporary annotations -- early inscriptions removed from first and last leaves. SECOND ILLUSTRATED EDITION, THE FIRST GRüNINGER EDITION. It is illustrated with a remarkable series of woodcuts marking a stylistic shift in German book illustration, particularly in representing tone and dimensionality. New to this edition are the full-page woodcuts opening each play which depict the dramatis personae set within a land- or cityscape. Grüninger re-used his series in a 1499 edition, and it was copied by Vérard for his edition of about 1500. (Cf. M. Chévre, 'Imitations et Originalité quelques Illustrations de Terence du XVème au XVIème Siècle,' Gutenberg-Jahrbuch , 1961, pp. 207-214.)
