Studi sulla tradizione testuale del De tranquillitate animi di Plutarco

The volume contains a paleographical and codicological study of all the manuscripts that hand down the Greek text of Plutarch’s «De tranquillitate animi» (chapter 1). The author traces the genealogical relations of these codices and identifies the primary witnesses that have to be used by the critical publisher (chapter 2). Finally, the author studies a part of the Renaissance fortunes of Plutarch’s booklet, by analysing a large number of annotated copies of 16th-century editions (chapter 3).
