MENANDER, Le Dyscolos. Texte établi et traduit par J.-M. Jacques. Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 1963. 63,64-123(x2)p. Sewn. Spine strenghtened with acid adhesive tape.'M. Jacques lists twelve editions of the 'Dyscolus' subsequent to the princept, and that of O. Foss can be added; but his own offers much that is new or valuable or both. Forty-four of the admirable introduction's fifty-nine pages deal with the play's title, occasion, plot, structure, antecedents, and character-drawing; this is in the best traditions of French scholarship, in which learning, though evident, does not obscure the broad outlines, and the problematic is firmly subordinated to what can be said with assurance.'
