APGRD Notes
De Limiers did not provide a new translation of such plays by Plautus which had already been published in French by Anne Dacier (such as Amphitryon, Rudens and Epidicus in 1683) and De Coste (Captivi in 1716).
His translations are in prose, except for the Stichus and Trinummus, rendered line for line in verse. Sources: BNF catalogue général, La Vallière, Louis-César et al. Bibliothèque du théâtre françois depuis son origine. 1768, p.231 http://books.google.com/books?id=6WI7AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA231 (18/01/12) and Dunlop, John. History of Roman Literature from its earliest period to the Augustan age. 1827, vol.2, p.27 http://books.google.com/books?id=f80TAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA1-PA27 (18/21/12).
