Per il testo, il ritmo e lo iato dell´Epistola di Aristea a Filocrate

2021

Epistulae Aristeae ad Philocratem loci nonnulli ad genuinam lectionem revocantur; praeterea quaeritur utrum hiatus vitetur atque clausolae numerosae sint. The aim of the first part of this paper is to cast new light on the textual con­stitution of some passages of the Epistula Aristeae ad Philocratem. Ca. 20 pieces are discuss­ed and for most of them a new solution is proposed; in the other cases I argue for a solution already proposed, but not accepted by the editors. The aim of the second part is to establish whether the ps.-Aristeas used rhythmical prose or not, and whether he avoided the hiatus. The analysis shows that he wrote rhythmical prose and avoided the hiatus.
