The Lyon Terence
Its Tradition and Legacy
Series: - Drama and Theatre in Early Modern Europe, Volume: 11
In
The Lyon Terence Giulia Torello-Hill and Andrew J. Turner take an unprecedented interdisciplinary approach to map out the influence of late-antique and medieval commentary and iconographic traditions over this seminal edition of the plays of Terence, published in Lyon in 1493, and examine its legacy. The work had a profound impact on the way Terence’s plays were read and understood throughout the sixteenth century, but its influence has been poorly recognised in modern scholarship. The authors establish the pivotal role that this book, and its editor Badius, played in the revitalisation of the theoretical understanding of classical comedy and in the revival of the plays of Terence that foreshadowed the establishment of early modern theatre in Italy and France.
Giulia Torello-Hill (Ph.D. Nottingham, 2006) is a Lecturer in Italian at the University of New England. Her research explores the interplay between exegesis of ancient texts, iconographic tradition and performance practice in Renaissance Italy.
Andrew J. Turner (Ph.D. Melbourne, 2000) is a researcher at the University of Melbourne, where he lectures on Latin literature. He has published on the reception of Terence and Sallust, and is at present examining late medieval commentaries on Seneca.

“This (study) makes us not only grateful for what it teaches but eager to know still more.”
