Abstract

The occasion for this collection of papers is the centenary of the publication of "The Scholia on the Aves of Aristophanes" by John Williams White (Boston-London 1914), a book that played a seminal role in setting the debate on the circumstances, manner and era of the birth of scholiography in the Greek milieu. This issue includes an Introduction by F.M., eight contributions by Italian scholars, and Conclusions by Antonietta Porro. Ancient authors and works concerned are (scholia on) Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, mathematical Greek treatises, John of Scythopolis’ commentary on the Corpus Dionysiacum, Latin scholia to Virgil.

The last decades and recent years have represented a particularly lively and fertile season of research and scientific debate on the forms assumed by ancient Greek and Latin exegesis, above all literary exegesis between Late Antiquity and the Byzantine age, which took shape concomitantly with the rise of new writing supports and book forms, more developed writing techniques and the changing cultural contexts. The stage reached today by research on this theme offers a window of opportunity to attempt to re-orient and actively channel the course of research in a clearly defined new direction from the point of view of the method and the objectives, namely shifting the focus of attention from the typological level to that of the text histories of the corpora of scholia; with inclusion of areas often treated separately, as religious and scientific writings with related exegesis. This re-orientation is se external aim of this collection.
