Item description from seller

pp. 277-298.

In March 1959, however, for the first time since 1472, our pilgrim could go to his bookseller and buy a completely new complete New Comedy Menanders Dyskolos. The status, enough to give even Vance Packard pause, already heaped upon The Man with the Ulcerous Disposition (to add, but not to argue, still another possible English title to the several already represented in our list) by scholars all over the world, from Oslo to Osaka, appears in our bibliography of more than 160 items reportable within little more than a year after the publication of the editio princeps.
