The foundation for the modern study of Titus Maccius Plautus rests
on this monumental four-volume edition, begun by the eminent German
philologist Friedrich Ritschl and completed by his colleagues
Gustav Loewe, Georg Goetz, and Fritz Sch ll. 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 1 (1871 1881) includes Ritschl's
indispensable overview of his critical method and his introduction
to Trinummus, the only play he finished editing before his death,
together with editions of Epidicus, Curculio, Asinaria, and
Truculentus. Each play is provided with a 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.
