Unfortunately, the book has been rebound, and the title page has gone missing. I have been able to discover the following details from the book itself: Editor: Fridericus [i. e., Friedrich] Blass Date: circa 1895 [the Praefatio is dated Oct. a. 1895] Publisher: B. G. Teubner Place of Publication: Lipsiae [Leipzig] No. of Pages: xiv, 330 The Praefatio begins 'Aeschinis editionis Frankianae recudendae cum mihi negotium impertitum esset, fugere me non potuit eius operae vel utilitas vel difficultas.' All of this suggests that it is a copy of the following: Author(s): Aeschines Title Details: Aeschinis Orationes / Post Fr. Frankium curavit Fridericus Blass Series: Bibliotheca scriptorum Graecorum et Romanorum Teubneriana Publisher: Lipsiae : in aedibus B. G. Teubneri, 1896 Physical Desc.: xv, 331 p ; 18 cm The only difference is in the pagination, which in my copy is xiv and 330. The full contents are as follows: Praefatio, pp. iii-xiv Vita Aeschinis, pp. 1-11 De Aeschinis eloquentia iudicia veterum, pp. 11-13 KATA TIMARKHOU, pp. 14-96 PERI THJ PARAPRESBEIAJ, pp. 97-171 KATA KTHSIFWNTWJ, pp. 172-287 [AISKHINOU] EPISTOLAI, pp. 288-314 FRANKII INDEX NOMINUM, pp. 315-29 I should be grateful if someone could help me confirm whether or not this is in fact Blass' 1896 editio minor (his full edition, which mine is clearly not, appeared at about the same time), or some other.
