ARISTOPHANES, Lysistrata. Edited with introduction and commentary by J. Henderson. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1987. LXXII,236p. Cloth wrps. Nice copy. Wrps on spine a bit discoloured. Jeffrey Henderson 'is to be congratulated (...) on the quality of his volume. (...) The most important part of the book is the commentary. Linguistic problems are prominent, including the sexual vocabulary, as was to be expected from the author of The Maculate Muse; but proper attention is also given to political and religious matters, and to the stage action.' (DOUGLAS M. MACDOWELL in The Classical Review (New Series), 1988, pp.213-14). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 39.50 (Antiquarian)

ARISTOPHANES, The Ecclesiazusae. The Greek text revised with a Translation into corresponding metres, Introduction and Commentary by B.B. Rogers. Bell, Londen, 1917. XXXV,239p. Cloth. Cover a bit stained. From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 23.50 (Antiquarian)

ARISTOPHANES, Lysistrata. Edited with translation and notes by A.H. Sommerstein. Aris & Phillips, Warminster, 1990. X,224p. Paperback. Some pages a bit yellowed. 'Although it appears only a few years after the large-scale commentary of J.J. Henderson, Alan H. Sommerstein's edition of Aristophanes' Lysistrata is clearly the product of much independent thought and research. At times, indeed, the notes seem overdocumented; but it should be borne in mind that in the Aris & Phillips format this play is likely to become a sourcebook for ancient attitudes to women as well as providing an introductory test for beginners in Greek.' (N. HOPKINSON in Greece & Rome, 1991, p.83). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 16.00 (Antiquarian)

'In this fine edition, everyone interested in 'Birds' will find convincing solutions to countless problems, and the essential material for attacking others on which D. is unwilling to pronounce firmly. (..) This will long remain the standard edition of 'Birds'.' (ALAN H. SOMMERSTEIN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1998, pp.9-11). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 95.00 (Antiquarian)

ARISTOPHANES, Birds. Edited with translation and notes by A.H. Sommerstein. Aris & Phillips, Warminster, 1987. XV,311p. Paperback. Spine with reading traces. 'The present edition deserves a welcome as warm as its predecessors - almost. (...) Why the 'almost'? It is there because Aristophanes' Birds is a play abounding in references to birds and all kinds of wild-life, and S. lacks the expertise to cope with many of them. (...) But enough; these imperfections affect only one area in an edition which in other respects is to be heartily welcomed.' (W.G. ARNOTT in The Classical Review (New Series), 1988, pp.211-13). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 18.50 (Antiquarian)

ARISTOPHANES, Wasps. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by D.M. MacDowell. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1971. X,346p. Cloth wrps. Wrps worn. Upper edge stained. With pencil annotations in nice hand writing from WGA in text part. 'As a first introduction to Aristophanes this lively edition may be warmly recommended. The detailed commentary is lucid and concise, witty and intelligent.MacDowell scrutinizes each problem with genuine interest and never loses sight of the stage (...). Especially valuable are his notes on prosopography. The technical details of the law courts are clearly elucidated and the metrical analyses presented with elegance and good taste. The apparatus has benefited from a fresh collation of the main manuscripts. (...) The text itself is decidedly conservative. (...) All in all, a fine addition to the new Oxford series.' (COLIN AUSTIN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1973, p.133-35). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 45.00 (Antiquarian)
