Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Ancient rhetoric and literary criticism are the foundation of modern Western criticism. This study explores the important element comparison, in an effort to determine the ancient theories of it and to locate the differences between its classical and modern usage in particular, whether or not a distinct concept of simile as denoted by its special form existed in the works of the ancients. -- Scholars and translators have assumed that distinction of simile on the basis of verbal form was indeed a characteristic of ancient criticism. Mr. McCall, in his extensive examination of literature dating from before Aristotle to the beginnings of the late technical treatises, has, however, found no evidence for such an assumption. He argues, rather, that the critics in discussing comparison do not focus on precise form but are preoccupied with purpose, effect, length, suitability in prose or poetry, and relationship to metaphor and historical example. Conflict abounds in the testimony: Aristotle, for instance, declares that metaphor includes comparison, whereas Quintilian says it does not. -- In the course of the study the author seeks to clarify textual difficulties through close philological explication or emendation and to correct misinterpretations and mis-rranslations of passages dealing with comparison. He also provides translations of all Greek and Latin passages, for the benefit of the nonspecialist interested in the history of criticism. -- This is the first comprehensive study of the historical development of ancient views of comparison.

Offprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 111-134. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Title page a bit browned, author's name underlined, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: Pages OCT of Aeschylus (1972) has become the standard critical edition. However, the presentation of the Supplices at least is much impaired by a flawed apparatus criticus. More than a quarter of the reports are erroneous, misleading, or incomplete, and it is hard to feel confident that matters are different with the other plays, particularly those outside the triad. Of course, these errors are not usually such as to affect a casual reader. But a scholar concerned with exact information in an apparatus will be severely disappointed. Accuracy, said Housman, is a duty and not a virtue, and with accuracy may be paired consistency. The following notes have to do broadly either with Pages reports of MS readings, especially those of M, or with his attributions of editorial corrections and conjectures. In the former category there is first a sizeable group of items in which clear mistakes can be set right. Then there is a large class of items in which Page has done some kind of orthographical cleaning up before reporting M or one of the other MSS. Here he risks, on the one hand, misleading his readers every time he fails to record the exact orthography of a reported MS reading (see, for an early and striking example, the entry to 26); and, on the other hand, since there are a number of instances in the app. in which Page manifestly is being careful to give the exact orthography of a MS (see, e.g., his app. at 15, 518, 727), an inquiring reader is left entirely in doubt as to which MS reports are indeed exact and which have been regularized. By this form of inconsistency an editor gains nothing, and often confuses, and I supply, in all cases where Pages reports have not done so, the precise reading of the MSS.

Offprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 117-131. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Title page a bit browned, author's name underlined, slightly dog eared, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: For more than a century there has been steady, if not quite raging, debate over the number and identity of secondary choruses in Aeschylus Supplices. In the Egyptian herald scene, are the lyrics sung by the herald or by his band of henchmen? In the exodos, where unquestionably there is a lyric dialogue and debate over the proper claims of Aphrodite, are the participants the Danaids and their handmaidens, the Danaids and Argive men-at-arms, or simply the Danaids divided into hemichoruses? The debate has not produced a consensus, at least not for the herald scene, but in the exodos a strong trend is observable when we tabulate the choices (for both scenes) made in the principal editions of this century.

Condition: Gut. pp. 79-102. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With a dedication by the author. - Author's name handwritten on the cover, a bit rubbed and bumped, otherwise very clean. - From the text: In an earlier volume of the Bulletin, I established the principal source of Robortellos edition of the scholia to Aeschylus Supplices. l am now able to supply the answer to an even more puzzling and previously unsolved question, namely what source or sources were used by Robortello for his edition of the poetic text of the Supplices. In the course of presenting the solution, it will also be possible to settle a problem that I could not resolve in my earlier study: the identity of Robortellos second source for his edition of the Supplices scholia. Speculation on the sources for Robortellos text has been, if not exactly rampant, very much alive for more than a century. My own work has been with the Supplices', the question of his sources for the Aeschylean triad lies completely outside the scope of this paper, and within the non-triadic group Oresteia, Supplices my evidence is for the Supplices alone, although I suspect strongly that what is true for the Supplices will eventually turn out to be provable also for the Oresteia, since it is quite certain that Robortello used the same source(s). The following sampling of statements will illustrate that for the Supplices (and Oresteia) scholars have agreed that Robortellos principal source was either the famous M, Laur. 32.9, or a manuscript very closely related to it.

Condition: Gut. pp. 125-146. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Cover stained, name of the author handwritten on the cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: In two recent articles Ole Smith has investigated with provocative results the hitherto unknown source, or sources, of Robortellos edition of Aeschylean scholia, specifically the scholia outside the triad. Robortellos is the earliest printed edition (1552) of the scholia, and it would be of no small interest to isolate the manuscript(s) that he used. Smiths initial conclusion, based solely on a study of the Supplices scholia, was that at least for the Supplices Robortellos source was a lost gemellus of the sixteenthcentury Par. 2070 (labelled Mi by Turyn), with the gemellus written, like Par. 2070, by Arsenius of Monembasia. Then, after extending his study to include the Oresteia scholia, he has revised his conclusion to this extent: Robortellos principal source for the Oresteia and Supplices scholia was not a lost gemellus but a lost apograph of Par. 2070; in addition, Robortello also had access to a second MS. from which he took a certain number of readings not to be found in the apograph.
