LONGINUS, On the Sublime. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by D.A. Russell. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1964. LVIII,208p. Original burgundy cloth. Spine gilt titled. (Rare). A 'full systematic commentary which every reader of this essay so badly needs (...) has now been very successfully provided by Mr. Russell. (...) The critical notes in his apparatus and commentary show the immense care and thought taken in its preparation. (...) The commentary, which takes up the greater part of the book, is a model of what a good commentary on this scale should be. (...) On points of exegesis he is helpful without being dogmatic (...). In short, this commentary will enable the undergraduate to read L. with greater understanding and enjoyment, while it will give the specialist much to think about.' (H.LL. HUDSON-WILLIAMS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1967, p.281). € 55.00 (Antiquarian)
