Cloth wrps. Together with: Offprint Rheinisches Museum für Philologie, 108, Heft 3, 1965, pp.229-254). 'Faced with material much of which is unrewarding, Platnauer has produced an edition and a commentary which is model of concision, good sense, and an often wise conservatism. (…). Platnauer's strength lies in his sure grasp of the minutiae of language and metre, which enables him to steer a confident, and successful, course between textual difficulty and editorial improvement, both present in tiresome abundance in this play.' (J.S. MORRISON in The Classical Review (New Series), (1965), p.271). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 22.50 (Antiquarian)
