About This Item
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 1991. XV,271p. Cloth wrps. 'Der Stoff ist sinnvoll gegliedert. Nach einenr kurzen einleitenden Gegenüberstellung von Menander und Plautus werden in insgesamt acht Kapiteln verschieden Aspekte der szenischen Realisation behandelt: zunächst Text und Darstellung (9-35) und Bühnenraum (36-67), sodann in vier Kapiteln der Gebrauch der Masken, ausgehend von bekannten Katalog des Pollux (68-187), schließlich Kostum und Gestik (188-208) sowie Sprache und Stimme (209-227). Anmerkungen, eine Auswahlbibliographie und ein Index bilden Abschluß. (...) Leider enthält das Buch zahlreiche unbewiesene Spekulationen. (...) W. lenkt den Blick des Philologen auf ein wichtigen, oftmals unterschätzten Aspekt der menandrischen Komödie, doch sein Buch hinterläßt einen zwiespältigen Eindruck. (HORST-DIETER BLUME in Gnomon 66, 1994, pp.667-71). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
