o:472162 Illuminare i testi La parola-segnale nelle tradizioni manoscritte di prosatori latini it Il volume raccoglie i risultati più significativi di trent’anni di ricerche su antiche integrazioni e correzioni con parola-segnale meccanicamente inglobate nel testo tràdito di prosatori latini dall’età repubblicana alla tarda antichità (Cicerone, Varrone, Livio, Seneca Padre, Seneca, Petronio, Svetonio, Tacito, Gellio, Apuleio e Pseudo-Apuleio, Macrobio). La parola-segnale (ovvero la parola antecedente o seguente il termine omesso o erroneo, duplicata dai correttori più scrupolosi per indicare il luogo di lacuna o di errore) consente ancor oggi di decifrare ed eseguire l’antico intervento correttivo. Si possono così sanare gravi corruttele, come mostrano le decine di luoghi qui discussi. Collana: Lexis Supplementi 7 Sottocollana: Studi di Letteratura Greca e Latina 4 The volume collects the most significant results of thirty years of research on the manuscript traditions of Latin prose-writers from the Republican age to late antiquity: Cicero, Varro, Livy, Seneca the Elder, Seneca, Petronius, Suetonius, Tacitus, Gellius, Apuleius and Pseudo-Apuleius, and Macrobius. The author argues that some of the serious corruptions in their works are caused by the intrusion in the text of ancient additions and corrections with signal-words, which the copyists transcribed mechanically before or after the right point. Chapter One describes this particular usus emendandi, practised by correctors who not only replaced or rectified the omitted or mistaken terms, but also duplicated one or more words (or letters) before or after, with the aim of indicating as clearly as possible the location of the lacuna or error; it is precisely this diplography that enables us even now to decipher and correct the text, and thus restore the more ancient reading. Chapters Two and Three provide examples of emendations and additions with a signal-word deduced by collating late-antique, medieval and humanist manuscripts. Chapter Four discusses suggestions of modern editors and scholars who have identified the presence of signal-words in loci uexati and have corrected them persuasively. Using this procedure for correcting, Chapter Five defends suggestions unsuccessfully advanced in the past, while in Chapter Six the author presents dozens of her own textual suggestions (some already published, others not), all based on recognising ancient signal-words or signal-letters. Each passage is followed by an apparatus and notes of commentary. Finally, the Appendix cites recent proposals by other scholars (Ammannati, Balbo, Braccini, Mastandrea, Piccioni, Stefani) who have successfully applied the methodological tool of the signal-word to problematic points in the text they were studying.
