The Scriptores Graeci et Latini is a collection of critical editions of Greek and Roman texts established in the 1930s under the supervision of the Reale Accademia dei Lincei. Among the members of the scientific committee, a prominent role was initially played by Giorgio Pasquali. Not only did he plan to publish his edition of Plato's Epistles, but he also criticized the work of his colleagues, in particular that on the poems of Vergil by Remigio Sabbadini. With the homogeneity of the collection on his mind, Pasquali even wrote the Conventions to be respected by future participants in the project (Norme per i collaboratori). This text is almost unknown, since very few copies are still extant today, but it is worthy of consideration nonetheless. It represents the most accurate work by Pasquali concerning the editorial technique of ancient texts, on the same level as the better known entry Edizione that he wrote for the Enciclopedia Italiana. Relying on previously unpublished archival documents, this paper reconstructs all of these aspects of Pasquali’s activity, and the Norme per i collaboratori are newly edited.

Edited Publications

This book offers the hint for a new reflection on ancient textual transmission and editorial practices in Antiquity.In the first section, it retraces the first steps of the process of ancient writing and editing. The reader will discover how the book is both a material object and a metaphorical personification, material or immaterial. The second section will focus on corpora of Greek texts, their formation, and their paratextual apparatus. Readers will explore various issues dealing with the mechanisms that are at the basis of the assembling of ancient Greek texts, but great attention will also be given to the role of ancient scholarly work. The third section shows how texts have two levels of authorship: the author of the text, and the scribe who copies the text. The scribe is not a medium, but plays a crucial role in changing the text. This section will focus on the protagonists of some interesting cases of textual transmission, but also on
the books they manufactured or kept in the libraries, and on the words they
engraved on stones. Therefore, the fresh voices of the contributors of this book, offer new perspectives on established research fields dealing with textual criticism.

Call for Papers

Prolepsis Association is delighted to announce its second international postgraduate conference whose theme will be the investigation into the concepts of authenticity and authorship of literary and historical texts from the Classical Antiquity to the Medieval and the Byzantine Age. " Auctor est aequivocum " Honorius of Autun writes in his Expositio in Cantica Canticorum (prol., PL 172, col. 348), underlining the ambiguity of the term " Auctor ". We would like use this quotation as a starting point for a discussion on the vast number of issues that derive from the concepts of authority, authorship and authenticity and on the problems that relate to their – often controversial – definitions. This year our conference is particularly keen on – but not limited to – the following topics: • Authorship, pseudo-epigraphy and ancient ghost writers. • Corpora and spuria • Forms of sphragìs and autographs • Ancient and modern interpolations • Ancient and modern forgeries and ways to unveil them • Borders between fakery and non authenticity • Ancient editions and authorial philology • Anonymous texts, adespota, unsuspicious authors and attributions in modern scholarship • " Il copista come autore " : notable colophons, famous scribes and scribal interpolations • Ancient terminology for authenticity and authorship (ἀλλοτρίος, ψευδεπίγραφος, spurium…) • Anonymous texts perceived as authorial and authorial texts perceived as anonymous • Catenae and centos • Copyright and Open Access Classics. The participation in the conference as speaker is open to postgraduate students and early career researchers. To participate is necessary to send an e-mail to prolepsis.associazione@gmail.com by the 30th of April 2017. The e-mail must contain the following pdf attachments: 1. An anonymous abstract of approximately 300 words (excluding references) and in English. You should specify if the abstract is for an oral presentation or a poster. 2. A short academic biography with name and affiliation. Papers should be 20 minutes in length plus 10 minutes for discussion. The languages admitted for the presentation are English and Italian. Selected papers will be considered for publication. Italian speakers will be required to provide an English handout and possibly a translation/translated summary of their paper. Proposals for coordinated panels and posters are most welcome. Expenses for travel and accommodation will not be covered. For any enquiries write to prolepsis.associazione@gmail.com, we would be glad to help you find solutions.

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.

Organized Events

Prolepsis Research Network is happy to invite you to the sixth and final meeting of our online seminar series L'editore di testi greci e latini al lavoro.

This will be a special lecture by Prof. Giovanni Benedetto (University of Milan), on
Tradurre filosofia contemporanea in latino: il Cambridge Platonist Ralph Cudworth nella versione di J. L. Mosheim (1733, 1773²)

Throughout the series we have encouraged reflection on the tools, methodologies, and approaches employed by classical philologists today. With this special lecture we will broaden our perspective, so as to include considerations on the history of classical studies, focusing on a truly unique moment for both the reception of ancient philosophy and Neo-Latin literature.

The meeting will take place on Thursday 20th June 2024, 4 pm CEST.

All are welcome! Please note that the working language of this event will be primarily, but not exclusively Italian.

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.

L’Associazione Culturale Prolepsis chiude la propria stagione di workshop e seminari, prima delle vacanze estive, con un’iniziativa che si propone di adottare una forma nuova e alternativa, quella della tavola rotonda work in progress. Intendiamo, infatti, strutturare questo incontro come una discussione collettiva e orizzontale su un tema che riteniamo possa valorizzare il ruolo ancora attuale dei classici, ossia quello del loro uso politico nella letteratura moderna e contemporanea. Il titolo “Con la morte divennero immortali”, è l’epigrafe di un sepolcro di partigiani sull’altopiano di Poklijuka in Slovenia (1945), citata da Oddone Longo nella prefazione alla sua edizione dell'epitaffio di Pericle. L’incontro sarà strutturato nel modo seguente: non sono previsti relatori programmati, ma ognuno dei partecipanti è libero di proporre un proprio caso di studio o di lettura da discutere con gli altri. I membri fondatori di Prolepsis si impegnano a portare, a loro volta, propri argomenti. La discussione avverrà intorno ad un tavolo, in modo informale, con l’obiettivo di condividere letture e punti di vista sul tema.
