Abstract
The frontispieces succeed in focusing the play for readers. However, the frontispieces and texts are a distorting lens in two respects. The central mediating characters are often very minor characters in the plays themselves, and Terentian ambiguity is systematically ignored. Things are magnified or suppressed to fit the overall schema. Gruninger's editions feature a compelling synergy of text and image. An explicit literary theory rules both, and on occasion overrules Terence himself.
