Summary note

This volume, edited by Federico Favi and Virginia Mastellari, explores the indirect tradition of classical Greek texts, focusing on anthologies, lexica, and scholia. The book examines how these indirect sources contribute to the understanding of ancient texts and their reception in historical contexts. It highlights the importance of philological analysis in uncovering previously unknown quotations and provides insights into the doctrinal and theoretical aspects of ancient scholarship. The contributions emphasize the dynamic nature of these texts, shaped by their transmission over time and the scholarly environments in which they were studied. The work also discusses the role of digital humanities in advancing the study of classical texts, offering new methodologies for analyzing and visualizing textual reuse. This scholarly text is intended for researchers and students in the fields of classical studies, philology, and digital humanities.
