Fragmentary texts play a central role in Classics. Their study
poses a stimulating challenge to scholars and readers, while its
methods and principles, far from being rigidly immutable, invite
constant reflection on its methods, approaches, and goals. By
focusing on some of the most relevant issues that fragmentologists
have to face, this book contributes to the ongoing and lively
debate on the study of fragmentary texts. This volume contains an
extensive theoretical introduction on the study of textual
fragments, followed by eight essays on a wide variety of topics
relevant to the study of fragmentary texts across literary genres.
The chapters range from archaic Greek epics (the Hesiodic corpus)
to late-antique grammarian Nonius Marcellus as a source of
fragments of Republican literature. All contributions share a
nuanced, critical attention to the main methodological implications
of the study of fragmentary texts and mutually contribute to
highlighting the field's common specificities and limitations, both
in theory and in editorial practice. The book offers a
representative spectrum of fragmentological issues, providing all
readers with an interest in Classics with an up-to-date,
methodologically aware approach to the field.
