Luigi Riccoboni, an eighteenth-century expert on Italian comedy and author of Histoire du theater italien, wrote, “there are thoughts in his play which could appeal to a few individuals but which generally horrify decent people.”

С благодарност, изданието е чудесно. Надявам се да издадете на Български и останалите известни негови произведения. Например - Ars reminiscendi и De Magia представляват голям интерес за мен.

Pros: Двуезично, допринася за автентичното усещане и го прави още по-ценно.

Cons: Няма
