Scrupulously edited from existing manuscripts, including the famed Ambrosian palimpsest, this edition offers valuable insights into the metrics, literary and historical contexts, and textual history of the Latin comedic playwright. Volume 4 (1890–1894) contains editions of Casina, Miles Gloriosus, Persa, Mostellaria, Cistellaria, and various fragments. Each play is provided with a thorough preface, analysing the work's structures and themes and explaining its reconstruction from manuscript. A central contribution to the study of Plautine drama, Ritschl's Comoediae is also a remarkable achievement of textual criticism, a model of nineteenth-century philology at its most ambitious.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eCasina edited by Fritz Schöll\u003cbr\u003e Miles Gloriosus edited by Friedrich Ritschl, revised by Georg Goetz\u003cbr\u003e Persa edited by Friedrich Ritschl, revised by Fritz Schöll\u003cbr\u003e Mostellaria edited by Friedrich Ritschl, revised by Fritz Schöll\u003cbr\u003e Cistellaria edited by Friedrich Ritschl, revised by Fritz Schöll\u003cbr\u003e Fragmenta.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: classical, early \u0026amp; medieval\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20classical,%20early%20\u0026amp;%20medieval%20%5BDSBB%5D%22\"\u003eDSBB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265939034392,"sku":"9781108015691","price":71.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108015691i.jpg?v=1694869373","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/t-macci-plauti-comoediae-2-part-set-9781108015691","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
