Lost in tradition. Papyrus commentaries on comedies and tragedies of unknown authorship
Published/Copyright:
December 2, 2009
Abstract
It is important to recognize, as part of our broader picture of the ancient exegetical traditions for both comedies and tragedies, that a sizeable portion of the exegetical works reconstructed from papyrus fragments concerns plays whose authors are unknown to us. This paper examines the surviving exemplars of hypomnemata to dramatic adespota, investigating certain quantitative data, these exemplars' chronological distribution, as well as their characteristics as books.
