PLAUTUS, Rudens. Editio minor. With an appendix on scansion. For the use of schools by E.A. Sonnenschein. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1968. Reprint 1st ed.1901. VIII,176p. Cloth. Fore edge slightly rust stained. 'The present edition of the 'Rudens' is in the main an abridgement of my larger edition, published in 1891; my object has been to render one of the most amusing and successful of the plays of Plautus intelligible to schoolboys and to pass men at the Universities, and I have accordingly omitted all that is superfluous for these two classes of readers. Critical matter thus disappears, and the notes are reduced in compass and scope. At the same time I have taken advantage of the opportunity of a new edition to introduce into my text and notes such improvements as have been established on a secure basis by the work of Plautine scholars since the appearance of my large edition, so far as could be done without entering into a discussion of critical questions.' (E.A. SONNENSCHEIN in the Preface, p. V). € 10.00 (Antiquarian)
