This companion volume to the new Teubner edition of the late antique prose comedy Aulularia sive Querolus combines prolegomena and a text-critical and linguistic commentary. This is the first detailed modern commentary on this play.

The Prolegomena are divided into two parts. In the first part, the play is categorised in the context of its origins and its intellectual and literary-historical environment. It is shown that, contrary to doctrine, Querolus is Christian in character. In addition, the linguistic, stylistic and rhythmic peculiarities of the text are analysed. The second part comprises studies on the history of transmission, on which the new, two-column stemma on which the edition is based. The detailed commentary sheds light on linguistic and content-related peculiarities and difficulties. It also justifies the editorial decisions and the textual constitution of the Teubneriana.
