Bøker av Titus Maccius Plautus

The speakable, performable scripts, along with Tatum's introduction, notes, and critical essays summarizing his own experiences in producing them, make this a gold mine for troupes wishing to produce these classics on the contemporary stage as well as for students of classical drama.

Plautus wrote upwards of fifty plays, of which twenty have survived.

The works of Latin comedic playwright Titus Maccius Plautus owe their modern reputation to this monumental four-volume edition, begun by the eminent philologist Friedrich Ritschl. Volume 1 (1871-81) includes Ritschl's edition of Trinummus, the only play he completed before his death, together with Epidicus, Curculio, Asinaria, and Truculentus.
