HOLST, H., Die Wortspiele in Ciceros Reden. Some & Co, Oslo, 1925. 119p. Sewn. Front cover losse. Back cover gone. Series: Symbolae Osloenses, Fasc. Supplet. I). (Rare). ‘The author has constructed ‘eine heuristische Systematic der Wortspiele Ciceros’ from ten selected speeches, his further objective being a ‘natürliche psychologische Systematic’ based on the whole of Cicero’s work. At first sight the labour and thought bestowed upon a book of this type appear out of proportion to its utility; but it has an interest of its own, and if it should lead to a fuller understanding of Cicero and his style, even to a small degree, the author would doubtless feel that his toil had not been wasted. (…) Generally speaking, the work is sound and presents the fullest treatment the subject has yet received.’ (L.G. POCOCK in The Classical Review, 1926, p.219). From the library of the late Prof. Dr. Tony Reekmans. € 95.00 (Antiquarian)
