Book Overview
Pedantius: A Latin Comedy is a play written by George Charles Moore Smith and originally published in 1905. The play is written entirely in Latin and is set in a university in the 16th century. The main character, Pedantius, is a pompous and self-important professor who believes himself to be the most learned man in the university. However, his arrogance and pretentiousness are challenged by a group of students who see through his facade and seek to expose him as a fraud. The play is a satire on the academic world and the pretensions of scholars, and is notable for its witty dialogue and clever wordplay. It is a classic example of the Latin comedy genre and is still studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
