A new copy of Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis has recently been discovered in the codex Haarlem 187 C 14: J. F. Gronovius (1611-1671) discusses a few lessons from a «membrana bibliothecae publicae Harlemensis» in his Ad L. et M. Senecas Notae of 1658, but after Gronovius’ remarks the Apocolocyntosis Harlemensis has never been examined again and the same notion of its existence was lost. The manuscript belonged to the abbot Raphael de Marcatellis, an illegitimate son of the duke of Burgundy Philip the Good, and great collector of codices. Today it is kept at the Noord-Hollands Archief in Haarlem along with five other manuscripts of Marcatellis’ collection, and there is no record on how it arrived in Haarlem from its original location in Ghent, where the abbot’s rich library was located. The series of events led by the Dutch Revolt in the second half of the sixteenth century allows us to at least partially explain what happened to the codex. In Ghent churches and convents were ransacked more...

Exactitude is the third of the Six Memos for the Next Millennium by Italo Calvino (Cambridge MA, 1988). According to Calvino ‘exactitude’ is a «well-defined and well-calculated plan for the work in question; an evocation of clear, incisive, memorable images [...]; a language as precise as possible both in the choice of words and in the expression of the subtleties of thought and imagination». The aim of Prolepsis’ 4th International Conference is to reflect on Calvino’s definition applying it to the Classical, Late-Antique and Medieval Worlds.
Research Interests: Ancient History, Greek Literature, Latin Literature, Translation Studies, Manuscript Studies, and 8 moreLexicography, History of Classical Scholarship, Classical philology, Ancient Philosophy, Greek and Latin prosody and metrics, Classical Reception Studies, Italo Calvino, and Codicology of medieval manuscripts

Prolepsis Research Network is happy to invite you to the next appointment of our online series of seminars “L’editore di testi greci e latini al lavoro”. Starting from some case studies, this series of seminars aims to broadly reflect on methodologies, approaches, and tools that classical philologists put into practical use in their daily work.
For the third meeting of this series we will host Prof. Stefano Martinelli Tempesta, Prof. Massimo Pinto, and Prof. Daniela Colomo, who will introduce us to their collaborative work on Isocrates. Their lecture "Il corpus isocrateo fra storia del testo ed edizione critica" will take place on Thursday 8th February 2024, 4 pm CEST.

Prolepsis Research Network is happy to invite you to the online series of seminars “L’editore di testi greci e latini al lavoro”.
Classical philologists cannot rely on copies penned by authors themselves. On the contrary, they use papyri and manuscripts detached several centuries from those copies as a starting point to retrace the history of classical works and provide their audience with a reliable text. On the one hand, the material aspect of textual transmission cannot be overlooked but needs to be taken into account and investigated from a paleographical, codicological, historical, and cultural perspective. On the other hand, the product of their work, namely the critical edition, needs to distance itself from the bulk of manuscript material to be useable and useful. This series of seminars aims to explore how classical philologists handle these two aspects in their work. Starting from some case studies, we aim to broadly reflect on methodologies, approaches, and tools that classical philologists put into practical use in their daily work. In his preface to the Prolepsis 3rd volume Bruno-Filosa-Marinelli (eds.), Fragmented Memory. Omission, Selection, and Loss in Ancient and Medieval Literature and History, Berlin-Boston 2022, Tiziano Dorandi expressed his wish for an opportunity to discuss these topics. We are therefore happy to offer this series of seminars.
Stefano Valente (Universität Hamburg) will join us for the second meeting of this series. His talk “Appunti sulla tradizione manoscritta dell'Etymologicum Gudianum” will take place on Monday 11th December, 4 pm CEST.
