Umbra criminis: un saggio di commento agli epigrammi pseudo-claudianei carm. min. app. 22-23 Hall = 15 Charlet

This essay provides the edition, the Italian translation, and the commentary of two pederastic epigrams, i.e. 22 and 23 of the Appendix of poems attributed to Claudian in the edition of J. B. Hall 1985. The reconstruction of the editorial tradition is intertwined with that of Petronius and Claudian. In this context, a new manuscript is presented (Rowlinson G. 109), previously ignored. The detailed comparison with anonymous medieval epigrams dealing with the relationship between a man and a puer allows us to ascribe the two poems to medieval times.
