I frammenti di Aristarco di Samotracia negli etimologici bizantini
Etymologicum Genuinum, Magnum, Symeonis, Megalae Grammatikae, Zonarae Lexicon. Introduzione, edizione critica e commento
Francesca Schironi
The volume contains all the fragments of Aristarchus of Samothrace preserved in the Byzantine Etymologica. These sources are here investigated for the first time in order to reconstruct Aristarchus’ work and exegesis. In addition to the collection of the fragments in the Etymologica (often derived from the original manuscripts, as most of these lexica are still unpublished) the author has gathered all the parallel passages in the scholiastic corpora, in Eustathius’ Homeric commentaries and in the rest of the grammatical and exegetical literature. Each fragment is explained with an in-depth commentary, in which the author deals with an often confused and intricate tradition and tries to clarify Aristarchus’ critical and exegetical principles.The volume represents an important step towards a complete edition of this relevant grammarian of the Hellenistic time.
