Terence was born at Carthage about the date of Plautus' death,
probably in 185 BC, possibly as much as ten years earlier, & died
in 159. He was a native of Africa & apparently a mulatto or
a quadroon. In childhood he was brought to Rome & became the
slave of one Terencius Lucenus who gave him an excellent education
& later bestowed on him freedom & his own name. Terence early
became a friend & protégé of the illustrious Scipo Africanus Minor.
Terence produced six comedies. He then journeyed to Greece &
Aoia Minor, but died on the way home at the age of 26 or little more
His most famous sentence is also his most emphatic assertion
that our great need is not virtue, not wisdom, so much as a
sense of humanity - homo sum: humani nil a me aluinum
puto: "nothing human do I count alien to me, for I too
am human."

-Trechel's press became famous through Jodocus Bodius
Ascensius who acted as proof reader.
