Scrinium Classical Antiquity

FRAENKEL, E., Horace. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1963. XIV,464p. Original blue gilt titled cloth with dust wrps. Dust wrps bit worn. Upper edge foxed. Signature to free endpaper. 'Indeed this is probably the weightiest book on Horace that has yet appeared. No one could put it down without feeling greatly enriched in knowledge and understanding. Fraenkel’s acquaintance with forgotten as well as recent literature on Horace, and his grasp of the history of scholarschip, is formidable. His appreciative commentaries, for instance on the Journey to Brundisium and the Epistle to Augustus, and his appraisal of such delicate matters as Horace’s attitude to the gods, are models of their kind. The footnotes are a treasure of recondite knowledge and pithy obiter dicta. The book is beautifully produced, with very few misprints.' (L.P. WILKINSON on the first edition in The Classical Review (New Series), 1959, p.36). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

Upper edge a little bit foxed. Signature on free endpaper.'This is a highly personal book, as well as a manifesto against the effects on Horatian criticism of the post-Romantic preoccupation with poets 'Erlebnis' and of the modern prejudice agains imperialism, autocracy, and 'personality cult'. It has two main themes - first, the use made by Horace of literary tradition and his gradual emancipation from excessive dependence on it, and second, his attitude to Augustus - though much else is interwoven. (...) Indeed this is probably the weightiest book on Horace that has yet appeared. No one could put it down without feeling greatly enriched in knowledge and understanding.

FRAENKEL, E., Beobachtungen zu Aristophanes. Edizioni di storia e letteratura, Roma, 1962. 223p. Sewn. Cover a bit edge worn and partly a bit yellowed. Still a nice copy. 'The greater part of this book comprises discussion of some fifty passages of Aristophanes, among which 'Birds' is especially prominent. Fraenkel consistently bases his interpretation on simple, patient observation of linguistic facts (...) and he pays particular attention to word-order (...) and to formulae of recognized associations (...), He is nevertheless unusual among Aristophanic critics of modern times in that he recognizes both the most intimate possible knowledge of grammar and of the history of the text are indispensable for complete dramatic visualization and also that knowledge of this kind is no more than a step in our progress towards such visualization (...). The last essay in the book, on lyrics in the parabases, draws our attention to traditional religious elements and to divergences from tradition.' (K.J. DOVER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, pp.272-74). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
