Preface
In 1911 Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff stated the need for a
modern edition of the anonymous lexicon attributed to the so-called
Antiatticist1, which was first transcribed in its entirety from the Paris
manuscript Coislin 345 in 1814 by Immanuel Bekker. In 2011 I began
my work on this lexicon at the Institut für Griechische und Lateini-
sche Philologie at the University of Hamburg thanks to a two-years
research fellowship generously granted by the Alexander von Hum-
boldt-Stiftung. About one year before, Klaus Alpers offered me the op-
portunity to work on this lexicon, and Christian Brockmann warmly
encouraged my application for the fellowship with keen enthusiasm. At
the University of Hamburg I enjoyed a warm welcome and the pos-
sibility of attending to the edition in an open-minded and stimulating
atmosphere.
This book now represents the results of my research as ‘Humboldt-
stipendiat’: it is the first critical edition of this lexicon dating to the sec-
ond half of the 2nd century CE, as Kurt Latte demonstrated in 1915. The
history of the text, the profile of this work and its relationship with the
surviving Atticist lexicography are discussed in the introduction. In the
apparatuses to the critcal text, I have critically selected all the materials
which I deemed useful for the interpretation of each entry taking into
account the importance of this lexicon in a variety of perspectives. Writ-
ing a commentary was, for the moment, not my aim. Until now the text
has been generally read searching for quotations from works which are
no longer extant, or according to a linguistic point of view. Few scholars
studied it in the context of Atticism, and probably nobody considered it
per se, also because of the drastically shortened version which survives.
For this lexicographical work, and more generally for all the Greek lex-
ica and scholia, only a patient and careful reading of the text can avoid
misinterpretations and improvisations.
1 Über die Wespen des Aristophanes, Sitztungsb. d. k. Preuß. Akad. d. Wiss. 1911, 460–491, 504–
535: 510 (= Kleine Schriften, I, Berlin 1935, 284–346: 328): “Phrynichos war schon früh gedruckt;
die Lexica Segueriana, die erst Bekker veröffentlichen sollte, schrieb Ruhnken sich ab; ediert
wurden aber bezeichnenderweise nur Möris und Timäus: den Antiattizisten ließ man beiseite; er
enthält, wie traurig zusammengestrichen auch, die Tradition des Byzantiers Aristophanes περὶ
τῶν δοκούντων μὴ εἰρῆσθαι τοῖς ἀρχαίοις; man sollte ihn jetzt im Stile von Pierson oder Lobeck
kommentieren”. Ruhnkenius’ preliminary notes on the text are edited for the first time in the
Appendix.
VIII Preface
During the preparation of this book I contracted many debts of
gratitude. First of all I would like to thank the Alexander von Hum-
boldt-Stiftung for the financial support to my research stay in Ham-
burg and to the printing costs. I warmly thank Klaus Alpers and Ian
Cunningham for their support to my research project and for having
accepted the result in the series Sammlung griechischer und lateinischer
Grammatiker. Their valuable suggestions and necessary corrections
sensibly improved my work at every stage of it. Ian Cunningham also
patiently revised my English. I would also like to remember the weekly
meetings with Professor Alpers and the fruitful discussions with him.
Many thanks also to the publisher Walter de Gruyter, and in particular
to Katrin Hofmann, Serena Pirrotta, Florian Ruppenstein, and Andreas
Vollmer. I wish to express my gratitude also to Christian Brockmann
who encouraged my work following it constantly. He kindly introduced
me into the academic world of Hamburg, also proposing that I join
from my very first days here the newly established Sonderforschungs-
bereich 950 “Manuscriptkulturen in Asien, Afrika und Europa”. In the
associated Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures I was able to
enjoy a new interdisciplinary approach and to discuss with profit some
first drafts of my research. Tiziano Dorandi, Marco Ercoles, and Bar-
bara Fero generously read and commented upon first versions of this
work. Of course, the mistakes that remain are only mine. Other debts
of gratitude are owed to some colleagues and friends who supported
my research in different ways: Gerard Boter, Antonio Carlini, Giuseppe
De Gregorio, Christian Förstel, Augusto Guida, Dieter Harlfinger, Ru-
dolf Kassel, Vito Lorusso, Franco Montanari, Lorenzo Perilli, Rachele
Pierini, Christina Savino, Renzo Tosi, Olga Tribulato, and Giuseppe
Ucciardello. I would also like to thank the Library of the Institut für
Griechische und Lateinische Philologie (University of Hamburg), and
particularly Andrea Beilfuß-Ashour.
My parents Lina and Fedele are a constant presence in supporting
my decisions in life and work from my hometown Omegna, and they
deserve to be mentioned here with special gratitude.
Marja Helena has been standing by me during the composition of this
work sharing all the good and difficult moments. I dedicate this book to
her, for being there.
