Pier Paolo Vergerio (c.1370-1444) was an important humanist of the early Italian Renaissance. His comic play, the Paulus, written in the 1390s, is the earliest extant Latin humanist comedy, a genre that combined elements of Roman and contemporary comedy. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of wild living for a student of the liberal arts. This book features the first English translation of the Paulus. Preceding the translation is a thorough biography of Vergerio.
Background material on the play's date and on staging the play is also included.
