Fans of Byzantine cantica will be pleased to know (if they don't know
already) that the Maas/Trypanis edition of Romanos has been republished in
a budget edition by Sandpiper Books (1997). I can't remember how much I
paid for mine, but I got it through Powell's Books in Chicago--under $30, I
think; a bargain for a hardcover book.
Best wishes,
