Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...of execution, equals the untranslatable, unapproachable, inimitable Eschylus.1 184. Bibliographical. Turning to the question of ALs 1 Aischulos' bronze-throat eagle-bark at blood Has somehow spoilt ray taste for twitterings! R. Browning, Arist. Ap. p. 94. chylean literature, we find the whole criticism of our texts: o depend on one MS. of the tenth century, the celebrated Plut. xxxii. 9, of the Laurentian library at Florence, which contains, with Sophocles and Apollonius Rhodius, the seven plays written out in a beautifully neat hand with very sligh; somewhat slanting characters; it has numerous scholia, but is unfortunately mutilated through most of the Agamtmnon and opening of the Choephori.
