Item description from seller

1st Edition, 8vo, xiv 41pp (1), #262 of 550 copies. quarter wine buckram in original dustjacket and original box in which itwas issued (marked in ink with title and price: 21/-) Untouched, both book and dustjacket more or less in the same condition in which they were purchased 80 years ago. Ichneutae (also translated as The Trackers, The Searchers, or The Tracking Satyrs) is a fragmentary satyr play by Sophocles. Aside from Euripides' Cyclops (which is fully intact), Ichneutae is the best-preserved ancient satyr play in existence. For centuries, the play was considered completely lost, with only three minor quotations preserved by other ancient authors. However, in 1907, a substantial portion of a second-century CE papyrus roll was discovered among the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in Egypt and subsequently published in 1912.
