SIMON, E., The Ancient Theatre. Translated by C.E. Vafopoulou-Richardson. Routledge, New York, 1982. 1st ed. 50p. ills. Paperback. 'Erika Simon has produced an introduction to the archaeology of the Greek Thaetre, tragedy, comedy, and satyr play, which may fairly claim to outclass any other book of comparable scope and length. It is judicious, succinct, up-to-date, well illustrated, and it benefits on every page from the author's exceptional knowledge of the visual arts. (...) The book is closely argues with a learned bibliography, ans so would make a testing introduction to the subject for a beginner. (...) This polished 'libellus' is worth any number of laborious and overloaded 'cartae'.' (OLIVER TAPLIN on the German original in The Classical Review (New Series), 1975, pp.58-59). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 14.50 (Antiquarian)
