This publication contains the transcripts of Achilles Statius' dedication to Antoine de Granvelle and his important, unpublished introduction into Lafrery's edition of the "Inlustrium virorum" from 1569 with a translation of both texts into German. In the following article Statius' explanation why these figures, which we today call herms, are called terms is embedded not only into the early history of these "terms" in art and architecture, but also into the history of publications on portraits of famous men and women in the 16th century.
