Nel lavoro sono esaminate le lettere scritte da Claudiano Mamerto a Sidonio Apollinare e a Sapaudo, un maestro di retorica. Una speciale attenzione è dedicata alla fortuna degli autori classici citati nelle epistole..

The Author explains recent editorial enterprises in the domain of Medieval commentaries to Seneca as a tragoedian. Recently the publication of the editio princeps of Nicholas Trevet commentary has come to an end. Now a research group in the University of Bari is doing a similar task order to publish Giovanni Segarelli' exegetical works on Senecas' tragedies.

The volume contains the editio princeps of Iohannes Segarellis’ Commentary on Seneca’s Phoenissae, based upon the only manuscript, actually known. The edition has an historical introduction, too about Segarellis'character and the textual aspects of the manuscript.

The paper outlines rise and decline of an aristocratic family in Late Antiquite Roman Gaul, the Apollinares, during the V-VIth cent., starting from Sidonius' grandfather conversion to Christianity.

This survey about the Apollinares, with a prevailing historical-literary feature, is founded on different subjects, like Late-Antique prosopography and Latin literature. The study enters in a broader quest about other Late-Antique gentes, such as Avitii, Symmachi, Anicii et cetera. The research is based on the members of Sidonius Apollinaris’ family, whose there are extant documentary hints.

Edizione critica del commento di Giovanni Segarelli (XIV secolo) alla tragedia Tieste di Lucio Anneo Seneca

Mascoli reconstructs the historical and literary background of a Sarmatian custom mentioned in a poem by Angelo Poliziano. It goes back to Martial, Statius and other authors speaking about nomadic tribes living in the Eurasian steppes.

Angelo Poliziano, author of a large Commentary on the Fasti as well as on the Ovidian Sappho's epistle to Phaon, wrote also a small poem in twenty couplets, entitled De Ovidii exilio et morte. This poem represented the official inaugural lecture for his (probably) last public course of lessons in 1493, the year before his death. This research aims to provide a philological, linguistic and stylistic examination of this less known work, which proves to be very interesting also because of the author's use of expressions and phrases referable to Ovid himself.

Il contributo prende in esame il componimento "De Ovidii exilio et morte" di Angelo Poliziano prodotto negli ultimi anni del XV secolo e fornisce una analisi filologica, stilistica e linguistica di questo poco conosciuto lavoro.

Il contributo analizza il rapporto tra il legame matrimoniale di Sidonio e la sua dignità vescovile

The author analyzes some loci in Sidonius Apollinaris' work, arguing that the alleged quotatiopns from Persius' Satyres have indeed a common topic or proverbial origin. More Persian quotations in Sidonius' epistles come from the first satyre by Persius.

Combining the scantly extant data with autoptic researches carried out in the Archivio Caetani (Rome), the Author outlines the biographical sketch of a late 14th century annotator of Seneca's Tragedies. The article contains the first critical edition of a brief correspondance between Giovanni Segarelli and Francesco da Fiano, written in a twofold prose and verse draft.
