Description

This is one of six Latin morality plays modeled on the comedies of Terence, emphasized the virtues of chastity and faith, which made them far more suitable reading material for the nuns than Terence's pagan dramas. Edited by Celtis, this first edition of her works was published in 1501 with several woodcut illustrations.
