Title Page Design for the Comedies of Terence

1662

A design for an engraved title page sometimes found a second life in a reprint of the book, or even an entirely different publication. The former happened with a 1662 edition of Terence, for which Jan de Bisschop made an improved version of the titlepage from a 1644 edition. Depicted are Truth with her flaming sword, Hypocrisy, and Wisdom.
