SCHAAF, L., Der Miles Gloriosus des Plautus und sein Griechisches Original. Ein Beitrag zur Kontaminationsfrage. Wilhelm Fink, München, 1977. 457p. Original off-white cloth. Head spine a bit bumped. Series: Studia et Testimonia Antiqua, XVIII. 'The first third of the book is a detailed survey of previously published views, the scholars being divided like Homerists into analysts and unitarians, depending on their attitude to the unity of the play. After this historical survey, S. runs through the play himself, concentrating on the contentious scenes, and offering his own answers. Finally, he delineates the Greek original, The 'Alazon' (...), and summarizes the changes Plautus has made for his 'Miles Gloriosus'. He is a unitarian, arguing on grounds of style and balance of composition (...). Schaaf's handling of the problems is exhaustive, and his conclusions in general convincing. There should be no need for this work to be done again for a very long time.' (M.M. WILLCOCK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1979, pp.31-32). € 79.50 (Antiquarian)

THIERCY, P., Aristophane: Fiction et Dramaturgie. Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 1986. 408p. Paperback. Front cover a bit wrinkled. Tail a little bit bumped. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. 'The aim (of this book - ND) is to identify dramaturgical features which are common to many or all of the plays. (…) The fourth and final part of the book, about dramatic structure, is the most original, but in the end I find it unconvincing. T. identifies three types of structure in the plays. First there is the structure of initiation, an arduous journey leading to a new life. (…) His second type is erotic structure. (…) Finally there is ‘la structure tournante', which means that a character or chorus undergoes a change. (…) As in many parts of the book, he has raised an interesting question, made some sound points, and yet failed to bring the discussion to a satisfying conclusion.' (DOUGLAS M. MacDOWELL in The Classical Review (New Series), 1987, pp.152-53). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 35.00 (Antiquarian)
