TERENCE, Hecyra. Edited by S.M. Goldberg. Cambridge University Press, 2013. IX,223p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. 'Sander Goldberg’s new commentary on ‘Hecyra’ (..) provides a most welcome resource for greater appreciation of one of New Comedy’s richest plays. This edition by one of the most astute living interpreters of Republican Latin literature does not disappoint, although Goldberg makes no pretence of solving all the difficulties posed by ‘Hecyra’. In addition to supplying appropriately pitched and detailed commentary on morphology, syntax, semantics, and translation, Goldberg displays keen sensitivity to the particulars of performance throughout the edition (…). His notes are models of concision, clarity, and incisiveness, typically balancing traditional philology with imaginative analysis of ‘Hecyra’ in performance. (…) Readers of all stripes will find Goldberg’s accounts of Terence’s language, style, and metre helpful and instructive. He is acutely attuned to musical transitions (…) and gives a pellucid account of the technicalities of Terence’s iambi-trochaic verse and the effects the playwright is striving for therein. (…) This is a superb addition to Cambridge’s growing body of exemplary commentaries on Roman comedies.’ (DAVID CHRISTENSON in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.12.34). € 27.90 (New)

WIND, E., Heidnische Mysterien in der Renaissance. Mit einem Nachwort von B. Buschendorf. Übersetzt von Chr. Münstermann unter Mitarbeit von B. Buschendorf und G. Heinrichs. Suhrkamp, Frankfurt am Main, 1981. 483p. Original cloth. Paste-down endpaper with small lightly damaged spot. Small name stamp to free endpaper. ‘The pagan mysteries’ mentioned in the title are not the mystery cults, but truths transmitted under a mythological or imaged form borrowed from ancient religions. The relation between these truths and their figured or veiled representation is the common theme of the fourteen chapters (…) centered either on the interpretation of a major work, or on the different forms under which a moral or philosophical idea was represented, or on the diverse uses of a given mythological motif. The basic intention of the author is to find thus in the art of ‘poetic theology’ what the Neoplatonists and certain other scholars of the Renaissance believed was revealed in the religions of antiquity (…). Little by little, the book becomes a true analysis of a certain form of thought proper to the Renaissance whose abstract tools had been furnished above all by Nicolas de Cusa (…), although ancient and modern Neoplatonism have contributed in no small way to their clarification.’ (ROBERT KLEIN on the english original ‘Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance’, in Renaissance News, 1960, pp.237-40). € 37.50 (Antiquarian)
