Excerpt from The Self-Tormentor (Heautontimorumenos): With More English Songs From Foreign Tongues T is a remarkable fact that although the Comedies of Terence are mines whence Latin lexicographers and school book makers take specimens of elegant Latinity. And although the abbreviation of the poet's name, T or, is familiar to the eye of every schoolboy who has studied a Latin Grammar or searched with any care through a Latin Dictionary, still comparatively few of the graduates of our colleges have ever read a word of the famous poet who was the idol of his own times and who, of all the Latin writers, was most admired and most closely studied by the scholars of the 1sth, loth and 17th centuries. In fact, no scholar, during that period, seemed to make any pretensions to the name until he had given printed evidence to the world that he had made critical study of the Comedies of Terence. The learned Philip Melanchthon, in the Latin Preface to his edition of Terence says, Terence, without doubt, surpasses all others in purity of language, which virtue in discourse is, beyond all doubt, the most important; I shall not regret my labor. If thereby I shall make others love Terence more; I exhort all teachers to advise the young to study this author with great attention. Erasmus also held the writings of Terence in high esteem. In the dedication of his edition of Terence, which, together with his Commentaries, is written in Latin, he says: From no other writer can the Roman tongue be learned with greater purity, nor is there any writer more delightful to the reader or more suitable for the young.
