Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pedantius, A Latin Comedy Formerly Acted in Trinity College, Cambridge: Edited By G. C. Moore Smith The just manner of his phrase in his Orations and Disputations they stufft his mouth with & no Buffianisme throughout his whole bookes, but they bolsterd out his part with: as those ragged remnaunts in his foure familiar Epistles twixt him and Senior Immerito, raptim scripta, Nosti manum & stylum, with innumerable other of his rabble-routs; and scoffing his musarum Lachrymoe with Flebo amorem meum, etiam Musarum lachrymis: I leaue out halfe: not the carrying vp of his gowne, his nice gate on his pantoffles, or the affected accent of his speach, but they personated. And if I should reueale all, I thinke they borrowed his gowne to playe the Part in, the more to flout him . According to Nash, then, whose account is corroborated by what we find in Pedantius, the publication of Harvey´s Familiar Epistles in the early summer of 1580 was followed in succession by a time during which he was in concealment, by a return to Cambridge, by a short period during which he was secretary to a protecting Lord, (probably Lord Leicester), by his dismissal from that post, and by the appearance of Pedantius. Pedantius, then, (which, as we shall see, has undoubted allusions to the Familiar Epistles) according to Nash was brought on the stage six months at least after their publication: but as Nash never states that he was himself in Cambridge at the time, he leaves us to gather that it was acted before October 1582 when Nash matriculated at St. John´s. The period then in which Pedantius appeared, according to Nash, was somewhere between the winter of 1580 and the summer of 1582. Combining this result with that previously arrived at, we are led to expect that the play was brought out between the winter of 1580 and July 1581, and probably in the Candlemas Term, the ordinary time for the production of College plays. It is interesting therefore to ¿nd that the Junior Bursar´s Book of Trinity College ´under the date 6 Feb. 1580/1 has the entry: Item layde out for the playes sexto Februarij vli xiiiis viiid ob. I have little doubt myself that that sum of £5.14s. 8¿ d defrayed the production of Pedantius on 6 February 1580/1. 1) Which I was allowed to see by the kindness of Mr Aldis Wright, the Vice-Master.
