ZAGAGI, Netta, The Comedy of Menander. Convention, Variation and Originality. Duckworth, London, 1994. 1st ed. 210p. Cloth wrps. Nice copy. 'The great strength of Zagagi's book is its accurate summary of current scholarly opinion on Menander and New Comedy. Its six chapters (...) cover all the bases. They provide cogent and reliable introductions to such complex issues as the formations and exploitation of stage and plot conventions, echoes of tragedy and the adaptation of tragic devices, and the realtionship between the dramatic fictions and social realities of fourth-century Athens. The author is also restrained and intelligent in her use of Roman material to supplement a picture (rightly) based on Menander's original texts. Her scholarly apparatus (...) is helpful, and the bibliography is full and up to date.' (SANDER M. GOLDBERG in The Classical Outlook, 1995, p.143). € 27.50 (Antiquarian)

His presentation is exemplary: theoretical issues are invariably followed by practical illustrations (in which the poets are generally surveyed seriatim) and each stage of the argument is clearly signposted in advance and equipped with ith own conclusion.

ZAPPEY, W.M., De economische en politieke werkzaamheid van Johannes Goldberg (1763-1828). Samsom, Alphen aan den Rijn / Brussel, 1967.311p. Original cloth hard bound. . Bij beoefenaren der Nederlandse geschiedenis is Johannes goldberg vrijwel uitsluitend bekend als de agent van Nationale Oeconomie, die in 1800 een dienstreis heeft gemaakt door ons land ter verwerving van statistische gegevens. Enkele aspecten van Goldbergs werkzaamheid zijn tot nu toe alleen in een beperkt aantal detailstudies aan de orde gekomen. Het leek derhalve zinvol om deze fragmentarische gegevens in te voegen in een algeeemn kader. Hierbij is de nadruk komen te vallen niet op het biografische, maar op een beschrijving van de politieke en ambtelijke carrière van Johannes goldberg. Het is de loopbaan van een patriot, die monarchist werd. (Publisher's information). € 12.00 (Antiquarian)
