Synopsis

Easily the best known of Plautus’ plays, Menaechmi’s popularity has rested on its broad farcical humor and exuberant dialogue. This edition aims to make a first reading the enjoyable experience it was meant to be. Designed to offer a first reading of Plautus to third-semester college or second- or third-year high school Latinists, this book's approach to vocabulary is to include places and familiar words in a general vocabulary at the end of the book, while new words are displayed opposite the text.
