The so-called Antiatticista is a Greek Atticistic lexicon crucial
for understanding the Atticism of the 2nd cent. CE. The anonymous
author approved a broader idea of Attic language in contrast to the
most rigorous Atticists. For this (polemic) purpose, he used some
older sources (in particular Hellenistic ones, such as Aristophanes
of Byzantium) where he could find rich quotations from classical
authors, especially from comic poets. Given that many of them are
no longer extant, this work now represents the only source for
them. The first critical edition of this lexicon is prefaced by a
survey of its textual tradition, direct and indirect, which
concerns its relationship to the Byzantine lexicon Synagoge. The
authorship, the typology, and the sources of the work are also
investigated. The unedited annotations by David Ruhnkenius for his
planned edition of the text are appended. Comprehensive indexes are
provided at the end of the book.
Manuscripts have played a crucial role in the educational practices
of virtually all cultures that have a history of using them. As
learning and teaching tools, manuscripts become primary witnesses
for reconstructing and studying didactic and research activities
and methodologies from elementary levels to the most advanced. The
present volume investigates the relation between manuscripts and
educational practices focusing on four particular research topics:
educational settings: teachers, students and their manuscripts;
organising knowledge: syllabi; exegetical practices: annotations;
modifying tradition: adaptations. The volume offers a number of
case studies stretching across geophysical boundaries from Western
Europe to South-East Asia, with a time span ranging from the second
millennium BCE to the twentieth century CE.
Two lexica to Plato have survived from Antiquity: the epitome of
Timaeus and the so-calledPseudo-Didymus. This is the first critical
edition of these lexica relying on a complete survey of their
textual traditions, both direct and indirect, which are
investigated in the Italian prefaces; it is also provided with an
up-to-date picture of Timaeus, with an extensive inquiry into his
sources and with an analysis of the mutual relationships between
the two works. The critical text is provided with a threefold
apparatus and detailed indexes.
