ARISTOPHANES, — Peace. Edited with Introduction and Commentary by Maurice Platnauer.

Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1964. XXVIII,174p. Original burgundy cloth. Spine gilt titled. Ex libris glued to paste-down endpaper. Pages a little bit yellowed. Some smoker's smell. 'Faced with material much of which is unrewarding, Platnauer has produced an edition and a commentary which is model of concision, good sense, and an often wise conservatism. (…). Platnauer's strength lies in his sure grasp of the minutiae of language and metre, which enables him to steer a confident, and successful, course between textual difficulty and editorial improvement, both present in tiresome abundance in this play.' (J.S. MORRISON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1965, p.271).
