ARISTOPHANES, Peace. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by Maurice Platnauer. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1964. XXVIII,174p. Cloth wrps. Signature on free endpaper. Nice copy. 'Faced with material much of which is unrewarding, Platnauer has produced an edition and a commentary which is model of concision, good sense, and an often wise conservatism. (…). Platnauer's strength lies in his sure grasp of the minutiae of language and metre, which enables him to steer a confident, and successful, course between textual difficulty and editorial improvement, both present in tiresome abundance in this play.' (J.S. MORRISON in The Classical Review (New Series), (1965), p.271). € 20.00 (Antiquarian)

ARISTOPHANES, Lysistrata. An English version by D. Fitts. Faber and Faber, London, n.d.. XVI,132p. Cloth wrps. Wrps a bit worn. Upper edge a bit foxed. Cloth a bit stained. Initials WGA on free endpaper. 'In diction Fitts's intention was 'first and foremost, to be 'sayable': and the translation is neat and lively, though it does not rise to nobility of utterance with the original. He shows much acuteness in making Aristophanes' vulgarity palatable to the modern reader without simple excision; but he commits some depressing lapses in taste by translating into vulgar language passages where it is most conspicuously absent from the original.' (D. MERVYN JONES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1956, p.164). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 10.00 (Antiquarian)
