Polluce attraverso gli occhi di un compilatore bizantino: metodi di lavoro, modelli e canone

This article examines a selection of excerpts from Pollux’s Onomasticon as preserved in the manuscripts Marc. gr. Z 490 and Vat. gr. 904. Its aim is to investigate the compiler’s working method: how he intervened in the text, the criteria he followed in interpolating it, the sources he drew upon, and the texts he regarded – on various grounds – as authoritative models.
