Extract

The best texts of Plautus are still those edited by Leo (second edition: Berlin, 1895–96; reprinted 1958) and Lindsay (Oxford, 1904-05). The large Teubner edition by Ritschl, Goetz, Loewe and Schoell (Leipzig, 1871–94), remains indispensable, despite an eccentric text, because of the fullness of its critical information; Goetz and Schoell later produced an editio minor (Leipzig, 1892–96: there are later prints with editorial changes) with a briefer apparatus and a more conservative text. The Bude edition is by Ernout (Paris, 1932–40). No complete commentary has been published since that of Ussing (Copenhagen, 1875–92; reprinted 1972); commentaries on individual plays, however, published in the more accessible languages during the last fifty years include: Amphitruo, Sedgwick (Manchester, 1960); Asinaria, Bertini (Genoa, 1968); Curculio, Collari (Paris, 1962); a ‘scenic analysis’ by Monaco (Rome and Palermo, 1963); Epidicus, Duckworth (Princeton, 1940); Menaechmi, Moseley and Hammond (Cambridge, Mass., 1933); Mercator, Enk (Leiden, 1932); Cazzaniga (Milan, 1961): Miles Gloriosus, Hammond, Mack, Moskalew (Cambridge, Mass. and London, 1963); Mostellaria, Collart (Paris, 1970); Merrill (London, 1972); Pseudolus, Sturtevant (New Haven, 1933); Rudens, Marx (Leipzig, 1928; reprinted 1958); Stichus, Petersmann (Heidelberg, 1973); Truculentus, Enk (Leiden, 1953). Commentaries in the press or near completion include: Aulularia (Stockert); Bacchides (Lowe); Casina (MacCary and Willcock); Poenulus (Maurach).

Notes

1. The direction taken by Plautine scholarship after the first World War, largely under the impact of Fraenkel’s seminal Plautinisches im Plautus (Berlin, 1922), has meant that earlier commentaries, based on exploded or outmoded views of Plautine techniques, are now often dangerously misleading in the hands of non-experts.

5. Leo’s chapter on Plautus’ life (Plautinische Forschungen [2nd edition: Berlin, 1912 Google Scholar: reprinted 1966], 63 ff.) is still the most scholarly discussion, although now outmoded in particular details. Cf.Duckworth, , The Nature of Roman Comedy (Princeton, 1952), 49 ffGoogle Scholar. Beare’s account, The Roman Stage (3rd edition: London, 1964), 45 ff.Google Scholar, is less judicious.

20. Although the text here has been botched by the mss., Seyffert’s conjecture (ex aqu-aqu-aqua) is certain, and it is a remarkable indication of the humourlessness of much modern scholarship that only Sonnenschein’s text prints the conjecture (but note Beare, CR xliv [1930], 166 f.).

Law and Dumont, however, exaggerate the importance of the Greek instances.

27. Examples can be found in Menander (e.g. Pk. 277 ff.), but they are comparatively rare.

28. On this passage see especially Fraenkel, Plautinisches, 112 f. = Elementi. 106 f.; and Beare, , CR xliv (1930), 165 ffGoogle Scholar.

Harsh’s earlier survey in TAPA lxxxvi (1955), 135 ff., is still useful, though somewhat outdated by the new papyrus discoveries.

31. Fraenkel, Plautinisches, 61 ff. = Elementi, 57 ff., argues that the whole canticum is a free invention by Plautus; Gaiser, , Philologus cxiv (1970), 72 ff.Google Scholar, suggests more attractively that Plautus may be substantially expanding a Greek core. Jocelyn, , HSCP lxxiii (1969), 134 ff.Google Scholar, has a good analysis of the canticum, but his detailed allegations of post-Plautine workmanship in it are partly unconvincing.

37. Fraenkel’s view (Plautinisches, 262 ff. = Elementi, 253 ff.), that the scene may have been imported into the play from a second Greek model (see sub-section 6 below), is now generally rejected.
