L'interazione fra Textgeschichte e Textkritik e le sue conseguenze per una buona prassi ecdotica

This paper outlines the necessity of combining Textkritik and Text- geschichte for a complete philological survey. The combination of these two scienti c perspectives allows greater results in the development of stemmatic hypotheses. This methodological approach is exempli ed through two emblematic case studies: the issue of the lost Greek exem- plar used by Francesco Filelfo for his translation of Plato’s Euthyphron and the stemmatic reconstruction of Quintus Smirnaeus.
