New. $59.95 * Reprint of the first critical edition by Hawkins. With extensive notes (the first 122 pages) in English, a life of Ruggle [1575-1622], commentary explaining the jokes and an extensive glossary of legal terms. Main text in Latin. It had gone through at least nine editions prior to this one, all of them, according to Hawkins were "failures." Ruggle's classic acerbic satire of the English bench and bar was written in Latin and first performed in 1615. Designed to ridicule the language of the common law and the dullness of lawyers, the play is based on events relating to a legal dispute between the vice-chancellor of Cambridge University and the mayor of Cambridge, Francis Brakin. The lawyers who were the subject of the play's satire did not enjoy the work; Sir Edward Coke, the Lord Chief Justice, believed that he was a target of some of the barbs. The play provoked a quarrel between academics and lawyers. The lawyers responded with satirical poems and ballads, which inspired responses by the academics, to create a passionate controversy. Ruggle's play even had an influence in the reform of legal language in England. 64 Critical Review 333.…

K. Money).The literary reputation of George Ruggle (bap. 1575, d. 1621/2), Latin playwright and fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, rests on this virtuoso college farce, which was performed to great success at Trinity College during James I's visitation in March 1615. The production was staged at considerable expense, with seating fitted in the hall to accommodate a large audience of courtiers and academics, reportedly as many as two thousand people. The contemporary letter-writer John Chamberlain reported that 'the thing was full of mirth and varietie, with many excellent actors.but more then halfe marred with extreme length' (Nelson, pp. 539-41). Despite its five-hour length, the play was enthusiastically received by the king, who requested a repeat performance at Royston on 13 May 1615. Less enthusiastic, however, was the actor Samuel Fairclough, who in the first performance refused to wear women's clothes for the part of Surda, the old woman; as his biographer noted, 'Thus did this youth choose to lose the smiles of the Court, and to bear the frowns of the Vice-Chancellour, rather than to hazard the loss of the light of Gods countenance' (ibid., p. 543).Written in Latin, with passages in English and French, Ruggle's college farce is based on the comedy La Trappolaria by Giambattista Della Porta (1535-1615), itself an adaptation of Plautus' Pseudolus with additional elements drawn from several other Roman comedies. Satirising common lawyers, the subject was allegedly prompted by a local Cambridge dispute in 1611-12 which had led to friction between Francis Brakin, the town recorder, and the university. Brakin, evidently an unpopular figure, had previously been ridiculed in the third of the Cambridge Parnassus plays (1602). Ignoramus' titular character is a blustering lawyer whose mangled learning, professional arrogance, and misuse of barbarous law-Latin make him both fool and target. The play's frontispiece depicts Ignoramus with his law books and manuscripts declaring 'Currat lex' (the law will run its course). Ruggle's work provoked much resentment among lawyers, who retaliated with numerous rhymes and ballads in their defence; Chamberlain wrote that the play 'hath so netled the Lawiers that they are almost out of all patience' (p. 542). Subsequently the poet Abraham Cowley warned poets not to quarrel with scholars, 'lest some one take / Spleene, and another Ignoramus make.'Ruggle's hero Ignoramus is often credited with popularising the English noun for an ignorant person, a meaning recorded almost immediately after the Cambridge performances. It appeared in two editions in 1630 (of which this is the earliest), and these were followed by a total of eleven subsequent editions throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was first translated into English by Fernando Parkhurst in 1660, followed by Robert Codrington in 1662, and was adapted for the stage by Edward Ravenscroft in 1678.Ruggle was a major donor of books, over three hundred of which survive at the fellows' library at. …
