Small personal library mark and name on author's letter.'One of the most urgent problems of the present moment, is to establish a new method of thinking, which would enable working out a model of reality capable of satisfying the needs of our times. This is the task undertaken by 'Monology', propounding the study of man’s activity as forms of approaching unity, thus establishing a new model of reality which permits arranging in an orderly system, all vital acts developed by man, moved as he is, by the incitement, brought to bear on him, by his vital tension.'

VERDENIUS, W.J., Pindar's Seventh Olympian Ode. A Commentary. NHUM, Amsterdam, 1972. 33p. Wire stitched. Blind tooling ex libris stamp and personal note on title page. Series: Mededelingen der Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen, afd. Letterkunde. Nieuwe reeks; 35,2. (Rare). Verdenius 'says (...) that the 'hyper-interpretation' of the new critics needs to be pruned away, and the best way to do it is by a detailed commentary on one particular poem. The 'Seventh Olympian' is suitable (...). Verdenius's commentary is almost wholly exegetic. He is concerned to explain the meaning of the Greek, and of course to point out the occasions when other scholars have misunderstood it. The objects of his disagreement include recent translators of Pindar (lattimore, Ruck and Matheson, Bowra) as well as Young and Smith. (...) He quotes widely from all sorts of sources, and this brief commentary on one ode is a fine exeample of Dutch scholarship. Verdenius is impressively sure of his opinions, and most of the time clearly right, so that the reading of his notes is simultaneously interesting and instructive.' (M.M. WILLCOCK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1975, pp.5-6). € 15.00 (Antiquarian)
