Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Menaechmi of Plautus: Edited on the Basis of Brix's Edition
In addition to the notes bf Brix's Menaechmi, which I have for the most part translated, I have inserted many from his editions of other plays to which he merely refers. I have also made other additions to the notes, including several references to Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, and have, in some cases, ventured to disagree with Brix.
I have placed a critical apparatus containing the principal variations of the Mss. And the most important conjectures at the foot of the text, and transferred the notes to the end of the book, in accordance with the plan of this series. Most of the textual discussion is relegated to an appendix.
Besides Brix's edition, I have made constant use of others, especially those of Ussing, Vahlen, and Wagner.
