Sul problema dell’autenticità e della datazione della Consolatio ad Liviam
No full textThe paper focuses on the question of Consolatio ad Liviam’s author and date, which has been recently faced again in two important books. A survey of how the author of the epicedium introduces himself to the readers and a closer examination of the intertextual relationships between the Consolatio and Ovid’s works allow to prove with reasonable certainty that the poem was composed not before 13 A.D. (and therefore is not a ‘true’ epicedium for the death of Drusus) and that the author pretends to be Ovid (that is to say, the Consolatio is not just a ‘chronological’ fake, but a proper pseudepigraphon)
Nota sull’esegesi di Ov. Fast. 3, 697-710
No full textIn Ov. fast. 3, 697-710, editors make Vesta’s speech end at line 702. In this paper the author suggests that it is more likely, on both thematic and stylistic grounds, that Vesta is still speaking in next lines and that the end of her speech should be put instead at line 708
Questioni di unitarietà nei Tristia di Ovidio
No full textThis paper deals with the important but neglected question related to some poems in Ovid's Tristia that should possibly be divided into two different poems and that John Barrie Hall divided in his Teubner edition (15; 19; III 4; IV 4; v 2; v 7). Through a close examination especially of stylistic devices, the author points out that some poems are most likely to be divided (I 5 and III 4), one poem is almost certainly a single poem (v 7), while three poems involve more complex issues, but are more likely to be' divided (19, rv 4, and V 2)
Inizio o fine? Nota su Ov. fast. 2, 1-2
No full textIn this paper the author suggests to print Heinsius’ conjecture hinc at Ov. fast. 2,1-2 (Ianus habet finem: cum carmine crescit et annus; / alter ut hinc mensis, sic liber alter eat) and to transfer the couplet from the beginning of the second book to the end of the first (as Riese first suggested), comparing the last couplet of the same book (2,863-864: venimus in portum libro cum mense peracto. / Naviget hinc alia iam mihi linter aqua) and taking into consideration a large number of both thematic and stylistic issues, which seem to strongly confirm the hypothesis
