Mattes Verlag, Heidelberg, 2010. 159p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). ‘Die Briefe geben (…) ein einmaligen Einblick in die germanisch-römische Welt am Beginn des sechsten Jahrhunderts. Es war die Zeit des Wandels von der Antike zum Mittelalter. ‘Der heute so aktuelle ‘Crash of cultures’ prägte im Zusammenprall von germanischer und römischer Welt die Zeit um die Wende zum fünften Jahrhundert und fand in Theoderich dem Großen einen souveränen Vermittler’, begeistert sich Herausgeber Janus in seinem Vorwort. Und tatsächlich, diese 1500 Jahre alten Texte sind spannend und teilweise topaktuell. (…) [Die Briefen] sollen Anregung für eine spätere vollständige Übersetzung sein.’ (I.

CASSON, L., (ed. and transl.), The Plays of Menander. New York University Press, New York, 1971. XX,154p. Bound wrps. Wrps a little bit worn. Upper edge a bit foxed.'This excellent prose translation of 'Dyskolos', 'Samia', 'Aspis', 'Epitrpontes', and 'Perikeiromene' is available in Britain from the University of London Press. Professor Casson has revised the translations included in his 'Masters of Ancient Comedy' and added the new portions of 'Samia' and 'Aspis'. (...) The translation is accurate, readable, and lively. (...) It would be absurd to expect a translation to convey all Menander's effects exactly in Menander's way, and this one conveys admirably the most important thing, which is the verve of these fast-moving comedies. (...) The text is supplemented by perceptive stage directions which help us to appreciate many of the subtleties not caught by Casson's bare text. (...) Casson bases his translations on the texts of Handley, Austin and Körte, bus he follows none slavishly. (...). The book maintains a consistently high standard, and in that too it is faithful to Menander.' (P.G.McC. BROWN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1974, pp.128-29).
