The edition of the Odyssey scholia to the book e-q follows the Wortlaut of X whenever the general sense of the text is not marred by mistakes or evident shortcomings.

Abstract

The present PhD thesis consists of two sections: the first one is an introduction, the second one is represented by the edition of the scholia to the books e-q of the Odyssey, which are carried by the codex X (Vind. Phil. Gr. 133). Since most of the scholia are the result of a century-long stratification and elaboration whose first witnesses date back to the VI century b.C,, it has seemed reasonable to trace a short aperçu of the history of Homeric scholarship from Antiquity to the late Byzantine period. The two following chapters provide a description of the cultural milieu during the period of the so-called “nicaean exile” (1204-1261) and the first Palaeologan Renaissance (1261-1325): this is most likely to be the period in which saw the light the corpus of scholia, whose most authoritative witness is our codex X. In the fourth and last chapter there is a “physical” description of X and his close relative E (Ambr. E 89 sup.), which is followed by a discussion of the possible role by the Nicaean scholar Michael Kakòs Senacherim in compiling the corpus. Finally, various sample-scholia are presented, which aim at illustrating the shape and interests of this collection: on the basis of this recognition one can gather that this corpus consists of notes written for students of intermediate-upper level. The edition of the Odyssey scholia to the book e-q follows the Wortlaut of X whenever the general sense of the text is not marred by mistakes or evident shortcomings. Facing the edition there is an Italian translation, where we tried to solve and clarify, by means of square brackets, whatever the text of the scholia (which is often elliptical) leaves untold.
