Le schede descrittive presentano dati essenziali, tra i quali la trascrizione integrale della formula di sottoscrizione. L'auspicio dei curatori e dei redattori delle schede è che questo lavoro costituisca la premessa alla pubblicazione di cataloghi di manoscritti datati conservati in Italia meridionale.

Christoph Pieper et Dennis Pausch (éd.), The Scholia on Cicero's Speeches. Contexts and Perspectives, Leyde-Boston, 2023.

The ancient commentaries and scholia to Cicero's speeches have hitherto received relatively little scholarly attention. This volume is dedicated to Asconius' first-century commentary and the corpora of the scholia stemming from the 4th-7th centuries (Bobbio, ps.-Asconius, and Gronovius). It shows the specific interpretative challenges of these corpora and offers interpretative case studies. Furthermore, it contextualizes the corpora within the learning and learned environment of their time, by contrasting them with rhetorical teaching (via the transmission of Cicero on papyri and his presence in the Rhetores Latini minores) and other ancient commentaries (on Homer and Demosthenes).

Il presente volume raccoglie gli atti di una giornata di studio su Magno Felice Ennodio, fine letterato e poi vescovo di Pavia all'inizio del VI secolo, tenutasi all'Almo Collegio Borromeo di Pavia. L'occasione era intesa a valutare non tanto la figura di Ennodio scrittore quanto piuttosto il contesto storico, politico, religioso e cittadino, nonché la prevedibile emergenza di questo nella sua produzione: gli interventi che si sono succeduti hanno infatti abbracciato l'opera ennodiana vedendone la funzione ampiamente documentaria e insieme cercando di comprenderne la convinta rispondenza al dibattito storico-culturale a lui contemporaneo. L'evento ha rappresentato una delle varie iniziative, di diverso segno e diversa destinazione, programmate a Pavia dal Comitato formatosi allo scopo di celebrare la ricorrenza del XV centenario della morte del vescovo e letterato pavese (521 - 2021).

The Senatus Consultum de Cn. Pisone Patre is a senatorial decree issued in AD 20 following the trial of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, the governor of Syria, who was accused of rebellion against Tiberius following the death of his heir Germanicus. It survives on several inscriptions and is among the most important documents from the early Principate. This new edition, with translation and commentary, sets the text within its contemporary context, considering it alongside other texts (including Tacitus' Annales), coins, and monuments, focusing upon the development of Tiberian political discourse. It explores how contemporary observers (including Valerius Maximus and Velleius Paterculus) understood and contributed to the shaping of dynastic rule at Rome after the death of Augustus in AD 14. It analyses how the Principate continued to evolve under his successor Tiberius, and explores the role of different individuals and groups in negotiating these political changes.ommentary

Cicero's so-called Academica is a significant text for European cultural and intellectual history: as a substantial and self-contained body of evidence for one of the two varieties of scepticism in antiquity, as evidence for Stoic thought presented on its own terms and in interaction with objections, as a key text in a broader tradition which is devoted to the possibility of knowledge arising from perceptual experience, and as evidence for the fate of Plato's Academy in its final phase as a functioning school. This volume is the first detailed commentary on this set of texts since Reid's, published in 1885. It takes full account of the scholarly debate to date and seeks to elucidate the dialogues and fragmentary remains from a philosophical, historical, literary, and linguistic point of view.

Cicéron, Academica (Academicus Primus, Fragmenta et Testimonia Academicorum Librorum, Lucullus). Edited by Tobias Reinhard, Oxford, 2023.

This is the first new critical edition of this text since 1908, and the first to appear in the Oxford Classical Texts series. The edition is informed by a comprehensive analysis of the entire tradition of Lucullus and Academicus Primus, and by a thorough rethinking of the text documented in the accompanying commentary volume.
Lucullus and Academicus Primus are a key body of evidence for the development of Academic scepticism, one of the two varieties of scepticism in antiquity. The texts also shed light on the re-emergence of dogmatic Platonic philosophy in the first century BC.
