- Contents
- The course focuses on the manuscript tradition of the Anthologia Latina and its complex stemma codicum, with an in-depth study of the stemmatic peculiarities of the so-called ‘beta’ branch, to which the codex Vossianus Latinus Q. 89 belongs. In particular, the study of the so-called Anthologia Vossiana will be explored in depth, examining from a perspective of textual criticism the epigrams attributed to Seneca and Petronius and their multiple themes. The reflection will also involve structural criteria internal to the two epigrammatic anthologies.
