BRAUN, L., Die Cantica des Plautus. Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 1970. 210p. Sewn. Upper edge a bit stained. 'Braun is arguing a case about the structure of the cantica, and his analyses are structural analyses offered in support and illustration of his case.(...) Braun's introduction shows clearly that we can detect a variety of recurring patters, and that repetition and symmetry of several kinds form the structural basis of many cantica. (...) Braun's most serious fault is his confidence that he knows where to mark a break in subject-matter. This is a notoriously subjective question, and his observation that other scholars have different views on how to divide up a passage should have led him to be less abusive of his colleagues and more tentative about his own divisions. (...) Braun's grasp of Plautine metrics seems insecure, and his analyses are overconfident; but they are interesting and subtle, and future studies will have to take them into account.' (P.G.McC.

Series: Annales Littéraires de l'Université de Besançon, Centre de Recherches d'Histoire Ancienne, Volume 29. ‘Le propos de M. Bresson est de démontrer, à partir de la VIIe Olympique, que Pindare n’est pas exclusivement le chantre des athlètes et de leurs protecteurs, mais le poète qui met en évidence ‘les antagonismes de la société du temps, les contradictions relatives à la terre et à son appropriation, à l’échange, à la monnaie, aux conflits entre oligarques et démocrates, etc.’ (p.11). Selon l’auteur, la théorie de Marx, dont le nom revient au fil des pages (…) permet une interprétation nouvelle et convaincante des trois mythes associés dans le poème.’ (MONIQUE MUND-DOPCHIE in l’Antiquité classique, 1982, p.357-358).
