Ex libris glued to paste-down endpaper. Pages a little bit yellowed. Some smoker's smell. '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.'

Original black cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Small number hand written on paste-down endpaper. Nice copy. 'De vertalingen die Van Dolen van deze stukken heeft gemaakt, zijn spetters van cabaretteksten. De charme ervan is dat ze ontleend zijn aan de grappen die Atheners vierentwintig eeuwen geleden met elkaar maakten tijdens hun festivals. Maar daarmee houdt de vergelijking ook onmiddellijk op; Van Dolen laat overtuigend in zijn vertaling zien dat je wel teksten van Aristofanes leuk kunt vertalen (vooral als je het lef hebt ongegeneerd te verraden: traduttore traditore), maar dat de komedie zelf onvertaalbaar is.'
