Abstract
THIS paper is an attempt to discover the miniature archetypes of the illustrated manuscripts of Terence solely through the medium of their iconography. The complex questions of miniature style are to be reserved for the text that will accompany the forthcoming photographic corpus of Terence miniatures to be published by Professor Charles Rufus Morey of Princeton and the present writer. In the paper in hand it is assumed that the problems involved are fairly well-known; no attempt will be made to outline their history; scholars and theories will be cited only incidentally.
