Scrinium Classical Antiquity

PÖSCHL, V., Horazische Lyrik. Interpretationen. Carl Winter, Heidelberg, 1970. 277p. Paperback with pictorial dust wrps. Dust wrps to edges a bit scratched. Singature on title page. 'This book contains ten interpretative articles on odes of Horace (...). There is more attempt here at real literary criticism than is normally found in the interpretation of Horace's Odes, and Pöschl holds that Classical scholars need to learn from the methods evolved for the study of modern literatures. Pöschl's writing is leisurely and discursive, but he has a real capacity for seeing these poems afresh and (...) it makes very pleasant and stimulating reading. (...) The book contains the harvest of a wide reading in ancient literature, and Pöschl contributes much to the mass of 'parallels' in Horation commentaries. The book is admirably printed and produced.'

WYCHERLEY, R.E., How the Greeks Built Cities. MacMillan, London, 1967. Reprint 2nd ed. XXI,235p. ills. Paperback.'Wycherley continues to be the one work on the subject that can be recommended without a tremor to students and general readers. Its untechnical presentation is in keeping with the good, honest indirect question of the title. It does not overburden the reader with criticism of theory; and the self-evident is not eschewd. Without any alteration of the scope or layout, this second edition brings the book up to date at some points and introduces a number of new illustrations and brief supplementary notes.' (J.M.

GOLDHILL, Samuel, How to Stage Greek Tragedy Today. University of Chicago Press, Chicago/London, 2007. 248p. ills. Paperback.'It isn't often that we see the idiom 'How to' prefacing the title of an academic study. In that sense, Simon Goldhill's no-nonsense How to Stage Greek Tragedy Today, is singular, but in more important ways such as organization and utility, Goldhill's book is equally impressive. (...) A particular strength of this spare and powerful publication is its brevity. There are notes and suggestions for further reading. In addition to plans and general illustrations, stage tableaux of Athol Fugard's The Island, Mnouchkine's Les Atrides, and the Peter Hall/Tony Harrison, Oresteia, provide accompaniment to Goldhill's guided discussions, as well as excellent examples of formal composition and pantomimic dramatization.'

EYFFINGER, A., Hugo de Groot, Mare Liberum, De Vrije Zee. Een uiteenzetting over het recht van de Nederlanders om handel te drijven in Oost-Indië. Jongbloed Juridische Boekhandel, n.p., 2009. 264p. Original cloth. Reading ribbon. Cover partly discoloured. Lower corner front cover with small water stain. ‘Het hoofdbestanddeel [van deze uitgave - ND] is een nieuwe Nederlandse vertaling van ‘Mare Liberum’; deze is gekoppeld aan een nieuwe presentatie van de Latijnse tekst, die bladzijde voor bladzijde ‘en regard’ van de vertaling is afgedrukt. Dit geheel wordt voorafgegaan door een zeer breed opgezette (historische) inleiding en een toelichting bij de inhoud van ’Mare liberum’; aan het slot vindt men nog een uitvoerige ‘Samenvatting’ van de inhoud van M.L. en ‘Nawerk’. (…) Er is geen tekstkritische uitgave van De Groot’s werk beoogd. De gepresenteerd Latijnse tekst ‘is gebaseerd op een vergelijking van de verschillende geautoriseerde uitgaven, maar gaat in beginsel uit van de eerste editie van 1609’. Er is een (genummerde) paragraafindeling aangebracht, die zowel voor een nadere toelichting op de betoogtrant in “Mare liberum’ (p.74-84) als voor de uitvoerige samenvatting tot grondslag heeft gediend. (…) Wat de Inleiding van Eyffinger’s boek betreft (p.11-66), deze is in het algemeen bijzonder instructief.’ (R. FEENSTRA IN The Legal History Review, 2010, p.469). € 48.00 (Antiquarian)
