This book concerns the field of the history of
philological-grammatical exegesis and ancient scholarship. Over
recent decades this line of research has aroused lively interest,
and noteworthy advances in knowledge have been achieved. In
comparison with the state and trends of studies in the mid-20th
century, the scenario now appears radically changed: editions of
texts, preparation of reference tools, in-depth investigation on
personalities, problems and movementshave ledto substantial
progress in our understanding of these aspects of ancient literary
culture. The five articles that make up this book discuss both
general questions and more specific points. Franco Montanari deals
with the form of the Alexandrian ekdosis on the basis of the
relationship between the library artefact on one hand and the text
as an object of editing on the other. Lara Pagani treats the
problem of the origins of the study of language in Greek Antiquity
and specifically in Hellenistic scholarship. Paola Ascheri
investigates the ideological position adopted by Rome in the age of
Augustus in its relations with the Greek world, on the basis ofher
research into the Homeric scholia and in POxy. 3710. Silvia
Consonni studies some specific aspects of Apollonius Dyscolus'
treatise On adverbs. Fausto Montana discusses the crucial point of
the genesis of Greek scholiastic corpora.
