The first edition of this 1635 study of Terentius' comedies is considered the beginning of a series of technical masterpieces by the famous outhouse. Attention is drawn to the sophisticated typography and excellent print quality. Terentius' texts are preceded by Heinsius' treatise "Ad Horatii de Plauto & Terentio judicium, dissertatio".
