WALTER-FILM103284No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 22 x 13 1/2"" 56 x 34.5 cm. window card poster USA. Orson Welles Oja Kodar Joseph Cotten Francois Reichenbach Richard Wilson Paul Stewart dir: Orson Welles; Janus Film. Effective poster and portrait of Welles for his free-form documentary. The story focused on the notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory and his biographer Clifford Irving. Irving also wrote a fraudulent bio on Howard Hughes and the film goes on to touch upon Hughes' career and that of Orson Welles. The documentary was a set-up as well and a fake on its own thus Welles' entire commentary is a fakery! Included in the film were some of Orson's old Mercury players among them Joseph Cotton Richard Wilson and Paul Stewart. Pure Orson. Unusual and rare piece very difficult to find for Welles' last completed feature. FINE. unknown books

Plautus is one of the most celebrated comic poets of Rome. This important edition by Gruter with Taubmann's commentaries is highly regarded. Jan Gruter 1560-1627 a Flemish-born philologist scholar and librarian at Heidelberg was the last curator of the Palatine library in Heidelberg at the time one of the greatest repositories of classical manuscripts in Europe. / "As custodian of the Palatine MSS Janus Gruter had always been ready to oblige scholars who publicly acknowledged his aid. The excerpts from the MSS of Camerarius which he sent to Taubman for his edition of Plautus 1605-12 were duly acknowledged; but he regarded with disfavour and endeavoured to discredit the Plautine labours of Philipp Pareus. . .In the third edition of Taubmann's text Gruter attempted to reflect on the accuracy of Pareus by stating that the text of Taubmann had been bona fide collated by the librarian himself with that of the MSS." – Sandys A History of Classical Scholarship vol. II p. 362. CONTENTS being all 20 extant Varronian plays by Plautus: 1. Amphitruo; 2. Asinaria; 3. Aulularia; 4. Captivi; 5. Curculio; 6. Casina; 7. Cistellaria; 8. Epidicus; 9. Bacchides; 10.
