L'enigma epigrafico di Barbola
No full textIn 1878 the front panel of a Roman sarcophagus was found in the basilica of SS. Maria and Donato in Murano. The artefact, which dates to the 3rd century AD, had first been reused as a grave marker in the early Middle Ages and was later turned upside down and employed in the floor of the church, which dates to 1141. The author of the discovery was the abbot Vincenzo Zanetti, director of the Murano City Museum, who first proposed an interpretation for the text that is inscribed in the tabula ansata in the centre of the sarcophagus. Several other exegetical attempts have followed, none of which seems fully convincing. This article offers a different transcription of the epigraphic document, based on a careful autopsy of the text and, especially, on the observation of the relevant role played by the cross that occupies the centre of the artefact. This new reading is confirmed by the contents of the so far unpublished correspondence exchanged between Zanetti and Giovanni Battista de Rossi immediately following the discovery of the sarcophagus, whose full transcription and analysis are given for the first time
Iscrizioni esposte in contesti di reimpiego: l'esempio veneziano
Full text linkL'articolo indaga gli ambiti di applicazione della nozione di «scrittura esposta», inizialmente elaborata da Armando Petrucci e solitamente applicata ai contesti originari per i quali le iscrizioni furono concepite. Attraverso un'esemplificazione diacronica di spolia epigrafici provenienti da Venezia e dalle isole della laguna circostante, l'autore si interroga sulle motivazioni del riutilizzo delle iscrizioni antiche, nonché sugli esiti di tale fenomeno. In particolare, sono notevoli i casi in cui la scrittura esposta delle iscrizioni reimpiegate generò nuova scrittura esposta, mentre in altre circostanze la scrittura fu deliberatamente nascosta, dimostrando così lo scopo puramente funzionale di quei reimpieghi.This article investigates the notion of «exhibited writing» («scrittura esposta»), first propounded by Armando Petrucci and usually applied to the original contexts for which inscriptions were conceived. Building on a cross-temporal selection of epigraphic spolia from Venice and the islands of the nearby lagoon, the author explores the motives for reusing ancient inscriptions, as well as the results of this phenomenon. Especially noteworthy are the cases when the exhibited writing of reused inscriptions generated new exhibited writing, while in other circumstances writing was deliberately hidden, thus showing that those spolia were only useful as structural elements

No full textNovità sulla fortuna del codex unicus di Velleio Patercolo
No full textThis article explores the fate of the only manuscript that preserved the work of the Roman historian Velleius Paterculus after its discovery by the Alsatian humanist Beatus Rhenanus in 1515. By better examining some 18th-century documents, it is possible to demonstrate that by that time the manuscript was no longer to be found in the library of the abbey of Murbach in Alsace. Its loss rather took place right after the publication of the editio princeps in 1521, or, at the latest, in the course of the 17th century
Epigraphic Database Falsae (EDF)
No full textEDF - Epigraphic Database Falsae è una risorsa digitale open-access, che offre un censimento sistematico e senza precedenti dei falsi epigrafici prodotti in Italia dal medioevo a oggi. Comprende dati provenienti da più fonti e riguarda tutti i tipi di falsi epigrafici (falsae), inclusi contraffazioni intenzionali, copie di monumenti iscritti antichi, nonché iscrizioni medievali e moderne imitanti modelli classici. Abbiamo volutamente deciso di indicare tale materiale come falsae, mantenendo la stessa vasta e inclusiva definizione che compare nel CIL (Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum).
EDF è permanentemente ospitato su un server fornito dall'Università Ca ' Foscari Venezia ed è anche raggiungibile attraverso il portale condiviso EAGLE Europeana. Garantisce inoltre l'interoperabilità con le principali risorse online esistenti per le iscrizioni genuine, in particolare EDR (Epigraphic Database Roma), EDB (Epigraphic Database Bari), ed EDCS(Epigraphische Datenbank Clauss Slaby).EDF - Epigraphic Database Falsae is an open-access digital resource, offering an unprecedented systematic survey of epigraphic forgeries produced across Italy from the Middle Ages to present. It compiles both textual and visual data from multiple sources and concerns all known typologies of forgeries, including intentional forgeries, replicas of ancient inscribed monuments, and medieval and early modern inscriptions imitating classical models. We have intentionally decided to label this material as falsae, keeping the same broad and comprehensive definition, which appears in the CIL (Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum).
EDF is permanently hosted on a server provided by the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and is reachable through the EAGLE (Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy) shared portal. It also ensures interoperability with the main existing online resources related to genuine inscriptions, in particular EDR (Epigraphic Database Roma), EDB (Epigraphic Database Bari), and EDCS (Epigraphische Datenbank Clauss Slaby)
