$30

Captivi of Plautus [hardcover] Herbert C. Elmer is a scholarly edition of one of the plays by the ancient Roman playwright Plautus. The play Captivi (The Captives) is known for its exploration of themes such as friendship and loyalty, with an intricate plot involving mistaken identities and reunions. This edition, edited by Herbert C. Elmer, is part of the College Latin Series, likely intended for academic use, particularly for students studying Latin and classical literature.

The book is in good condition for its age. The green hardcover shows typical wear along the edges, spine, and corners, but the binding remains strong. The interior is clean, though there are handwritten notes on the endpapers and possibly within the text. These annotations could add historical interest but may detract from its appeal to collectors seeking pristine copies. There is no foxing visible, and the pages appear to be well-preserved.
