In the last decades the field of research on ancient Greek
scholarship has been the object of a remarkable surge of interest,
with the publication of handbooks, reference works, and new
editions of texts. This partly unexpected revival is very promising
and it continues to enhance and modify both our knowledge of
ancient scholarship and the way in which we are accustomed to
discuss these texts and tackle the editorial and exegetical
challenges they pose. This volume deals with some pivotal aspects
of this topic, being the outcome of a three-year project funded by
the Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research (MIUR)
on specific aspects of the critical re-appraisal of Homer, Hesiod,
Pindar, and Aeschylus in Greek culture throughout antiquity and the
Middle Ages. It tackles issues such as the material form of the
transmission of the exegesis from papyri to codices, the
examination of hitherto unexplored branches of the manuscript
evidence, the discussion of some important scholia, and the role
played by the indirect tradition and the assimilation of the
exegetical heritage in grammatical and lexicographical works. Some
strands of the ancient and medieval scholarship are here
re-evaluated afresh by adopting an interdisciplinary methodology
which blends modern editorial techniques developed for
'problematic' or 'non-authorial' medieval texts with current trends
in the history of philology and literary criticism. In their
diversity of subject matter and approach the papers collected in
the volume give intended readers an excellent overview of the
topics of the project.
