Excerpt from Scholia Aristophanica, Vol. 1 of 3: Being Such Comments Adscript to the Text of Aristophanes as Have Been Preserved in the Codex Ravennas, Arranged, Emended, and TranslatedIT was a tenet, we are told, of the Rabbi Gamaliel that a man could not study the Law without sin, who made the study of the Law his sole employment. Gamaliel was noted for good sense. Can he have meant to uphold this doctrine as sound and salutary even in circumstances in which the two occupations - the labour of love and the work of life - cannot be carried on simultaneously each at its own time in every day? What if the books of the Law must be laid aside entirely for three months in four, and the lover of the Law must turn to what use he can such fragments of time and of energy as may be left him?In the part of this book now published there are more signs than I like that the work of which they are the fruit has been often interrupted. Quotations, for example, are not always made from the same texts the same formula is not uniformly rendered one convention of the printer is adopted in one sheet, another in another, but I believe that such lack of consistency does not extend to matters of a substantial kind. No pains have been spared to make the foundation for the speculations and theories, which will be embodied in a third volume, thoroughly solid and secure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
