First complete edition of Terence's comedies in English, translated by Cambridge humanist and clergyman Richard Bernard (1568-1642), with the English and Latin text in parallel. Bernard's translation went to a fifth edition by 1641, and Shakespeare's likely familiarity with the text is well attested: echoes of Bernard's phrasing are found in Much Ado About Nothing , All's Well That Ends Well , Twelfth Night , The Taming of the Shrew , The Comedy of Errors , The Merchant of Venice , and Hamlet (see The New Shakespere Society's Transactions 1875-6 , volume 4, p. 198 et seq.). Bernard's translation was preceded only by two phrasebooks, Vulgaria quedam abs Terencio in Anglicam linguam traducta (1483) and Floures for Latine spekynge selected and gathered oute of Terence (1533/4), Terens in English (c.1520), which contained a translation of 'Andria' only, and the 1588 translation of Andria by Morris Kyffin.

R. Griggs], photo-chromolithographic colour printed copy of the known world on two conjoined sheets, some light staining, 580 x 1390 mm, framed and glazed (Qty: 1)NOTESA scarce later copy of the Propaganda or Second Borgian map, now in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City. Diego Ribero was regarded as the finest cartographer of his day and this magnificent map was produced for the kings of Spain and Portugal. The translation of some of the notes on the map reveal its imperial and economic nature. For example on the coast of Greenland is a note stating 'The English discovered this country. It produces nothing of any value. It was discovered by the English from the city of Bristol.' - a nod to the voyage of John Cabot - and on Newfoundland it states 'The land of cod fish discovered by the Corte Reals and where they were lost. Up to this time nothing of value has been found there, except the fishing of codfish, and these do not amount to much'. These comments and the sometimes spurious accreditation of discoveries to Spanish and Portuguese explorers gave rise to the map being referred to as 'The Propaganda Map'.

Gian Maria Visconti (1388-1412, the second Visconti Duke of Milan) used hounds of his ancestors no longer in the chase of boars, but of living men. His huntsman, Squarcia Giramo, trained the dogs to their duty by feeding them on human flesh. In 1412 some Milanese nobles succeeded in murdering him. He was succeeded by his younger brother Filippo Maria (1402-47), the last of the Visconti, who, due to his repellent appearance seldom left his secret apartments in the castello, and divided his bodyguardinto two groups who spied on each other. He married the widow of his condottiere, Faclno Cano, in order to win the support of the troops, but later had her beheaded on a false charge of adultery. See: J.A.
