FRAGMENTA HESIODEA. Ediderunt R. Merkelbach et M.L. West. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1967. 1st ed. VII,236p. Original red cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Sticker from Dr. Wolfhart Unte glued to paste down endpaper. Nice copy. 'The 'Ertrag' of the edition lies in the fact that it collects papyrus fragments hitherto scattered in various places. One is left full of admiration for the great ease and the consummate elegance with which the two editors can 'nachdichten', but as far as Hesiod's own poetry is concerned I am in conscience unable to recommend its text as given by Merkelbach-West.' (GIUSEPPE GIANGRANDE in The Classical Review New Series, 1970, p.156). € 35.00 (Antiquarian)
