Petronius: "Satyrica 1-15" - Text, Ubersetzung, Kommentar (English, German, Latin, Book)

The remarkable variety and irony of Petronius Satyrica today amaze scholars and readers alike. However, a complete commentary on this important example of the ancient novel is still lacking. With this volume Natalie Breitenstein presents the first comprehensive commentary on the opening of the Satyrica (chapters 1 15). Modern research is included in her analysis of all aspects of the textual criticism, language, style, and content of the text. The introduction also offers an up-to-date summary of the state of research on all main problems and questions relating to Petronius Satyrica and the fragmentary nature of the text."
