PLAUTUS, Rudens. Edited with Critical and Explanatory Notes by E.A. Sonnenschein. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1891. XXII,211p. Cloth. Spine gilt titled. Endpages rust stained. (Rare).'Long delayed by the pressure of other work, this volume, which has been at once the delight and the despair of my leisure hours during the past five years, now passes from my hands and is submitted to the judgment of fellow-students of Plautus. The delay in publication I cannot regret, as I have been tereby enabled to make use of the admirable 'Apographon' of the Ambrosian palimpsest by the late professor Studemund of Breslau, which was published only last year. On a number of passges this collation throws new light, and if this, the first English edition of the Rudens, is found to be in some respects an advance on previous editions, it will be largely due to the fact that the editor has had the advantage of a more complete basis of MS. evidence than was accessible to his predecesoors. Apart from new readings, the mere fact of having before one a reproduction, page by page and line by line, of that can be deciphered in the oldest MS. is of the greatest assistance in the task of restoring the text.'

PLAUTUS, Rudens. Editio minor. With an appendix on scansion. For the use of schools by E.A. Sonnenschein. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1968. Reprint 1st ed.1901. VIII,176p. Cloth. Fore edge slightly rust stained. 'The present edition of the 'Rudens' is in the main an abridgement of my larger edition, published in 1891; my object has been to render one of the most amusing and successful of the plays of Plautus intelligible to schoolboys and to pass men at the Universities, and I have accordingly omitted all that is superfluous for these two classes of readers. Critical matter thus disappears, and the notes are reduced in compass and scope. At the same time I have taken advantage of the opportunity of a new edition to introduce into my text and notes such improvements as have been established on a secure basis by the work of Plautine scholars since the appearance of my large edition, so far as could be done without entering into a discussion of critical questions.'

PLAUTUS, Pseudolus. Edited by D. Christenson. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2020. VIII,408p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics. Pseudolus of all Plautus' comedies most fully reveals its author's metapoetics. As its eponymous clever slave telegraphs his every move to spectators, Pseudolus highlights the aesthetic, social, and performative priorities of Plautine comedy: brilliant linguistic play, creative appropriation of comic tradition, interrogation of convention and social norms, the projection of an air of improvisation and a fresh comic universe, and exploration of dramatic mimesis itself. The extensive Introduction analyses Plautus' delightful comedy as a stage-performance, the comic playwright's translation and adaptation practices, his innovative deployment of language and metrical and musical virtuosity, as well as the play's transmission and reception. In addition to detailed elucidation of the Latin text, the Commentary examines Pseudolus as a lens into Roman slave society at the time of its debut at the Megalensian festival of 191 BCE. The edition engages throughout with current criticism and issues of interest to both students and scholars. (Publisher's information). € 30.00 (New)
