MASTROMARCO,G., The Public of Herondas. Gieben, Amsterdam, 1984. XIII,122p. Cloth. With author's dedication on free endpaper. Nice copy. Personal summary from WGA loosely inserted. 'What were the Mimiams of Herodas for? Three views have been canvassed: they were to be read (by the individual in his study), to be recited (by a solo performer), to be acted (by a group of players). Dr Mastromarco's book argues for the third. (...) There is much of incidental interest in the book, which discusses many Herondean problems with sound judgement end an enviable command of the scholarship in its historical perspective.' (P.J. PARSONS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1981, p.110 on the Italian edition 'Il Pubblico di Eronda'). 'For this English translation (...) the author has added occasional discussion of points raised in the interim, by reviewers and others. The valuable discussion of the use of paragraphos now appears as an appendix, and other changes in the arrangement of the first chapter have been made. An index of subjects and of passages has been added. (...) The wider currency which the work will now have is to be welcomed.' (I.C. CUNNINGHAM in The Classical Review (New Series), 1985, p.384). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 29.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9789070265946
