L’olio in un aneddoto dalle biografie di Cesare (Plut. Caes. 17, 9–10 e Suet. Iul. 53)
No full textThe paper discusses a debated anecdote on Julius Caesar that Plutarch and Suetonius probably derived from the writer and politician Gaius Oppius. By examining some hitherto neglected Latin agronomic and gastronomic sources, the author provides some examples of olea condita used for culinary purposes and reassesses the interpretation of the anecdote
Una nota testuale al Commento ad Epidemie VI di Galeno (Gal. in Hipp. Epidemiarum VI comm. 304-305 W.-Pf.)
No full text"This contribution deals with a textual problem in the greek tradition of Galen's Commentaria in
Hìppocratis Epidemiarum librum VI (304, 13-306, 19 Wenkebach-Pfaff). With the support of the arabic translation
of IXth century by Hunain ibn Ishaq, and considering Galen's usus scrìbendi, the author tries to reconstruct a better
text, supposing the existence of a lacuna in the greek textual tradition of the Marcianus Venetus 283 manuscript,
together with a significant interpolation due to an error made by the copyist.

Galen’s Surgical Commentaries in Oribasius’ Collectiones medicae. An Overview and Some Remarks
No full textIn books 46–49 of the Collectiones medicae, Oribasius collects a remarkable number of
text excerpts, varying in size, from Galen’s commentaries on Hippocrates’ surgical treatises
(In the surgery, On fractures, and On joints). Besides being a witness of indirect
tradition for the surviving Greek text of the commentaries, these excerpts offer good
overall specimens of Oribasius’ writing method. The paper analyzes some significant
examples, in order to highlight Oribasius’ compilatory technique and the strategies
he adopted to overcome the difficulties in building a continuous text moving from a
non-continuous one
Una nota in margine a A. La Penna, La favola antica. Esopo e la sapienza degli schiavi
No full textThe article offers some remarks on a recently published volume collecting Antonio La Penna’s papers on Aesopian fables. This book, conceived and built by its editors as a unitary essay, gathers La Penna’s many contributions (dating from the early Sixties to the half of the Nineties) about the origins, style and ethics of the ancient fable, with particular regard to the production transmitted under the names of Aesop and Phaedrus
Plutarco e non Plutarco: sul frammento 81 Sandbach
No full textThis paper deals with fragment 81 of the Plutarch’s Commentarium in Hesiodi Opera et dies, which is lost in direct tradition. The Author argues that the fragment cannot possibly be the work of Plutarch alone: the technical flair of the mathematical description devoted to the multifaceted problem of the wine/water ratio is solid evidence against Plutarch’s authorship.
Medicina e vegetarianismo in Plutarco
No full textVegetarianism is one of the most struggling subjects in the field of Plutarchean studies. The paper aims at throwing light on the relationship between Plutarch's views on vegetarianism and some medical aspects he relies upon to support his attacks against eating meat. Plutarch mainly stresses his attention on human physiology, which is -according to his views- designed for a diet based on vegetables and fruits: that is why the first men on Earth used to be vegetarian; and, by the way, this is the reason why eating meat causes many different diseases, both physical and psychological. Moreover, by commenting some sections of the "De esu carnium", and comparing them with several passages from the "Moralia", the author shows that Plutarch used the same set of medical argumentations to defend vegetarianism throughout his vaste corpus
