About This Item
Clarendon Press, Oxford, 2009. Reprint 3rd ed. XXXII,180p. Paperback. Nice copy. 'After several reprintings of his admirable first edition (1933) of this famous and attractive speech, Professor Austin now gives us a second edition which is still better. (...) The pages relating to the manuscripts have been rewritten: the bibliography is enlarged and usefully classified. The good general introduction reappears with a few small changes: so also the appendixes, except for the last one on the composition of the speech, which has been recast so as to show clearly the rival views of scholars regarding the 'parallel' passages. (...) What makes this edition essentially a new one is the commentary, which has been 'entirely re-written' (...). (L.H.G. GREENWOOD on the second edition in The Classical Review (New Series), 1954, p.304). In the third edition Appendix III has been rewritten and according to the preface: 'The additional notes contain both new matter and comments.'

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
