Adnotationes in Vergili opera. Sui ‘commenti’ e su un argumentum papiracei

In the field of Latin papyri from school context, which can be considered an expression of the success of the Vergilian poems in the Eastern province of the Empire, attention is given to P. Ryl. III, 478 + P. Cairo inv. 85644 + P. Med. I, 1, P. Oxy. VIII, 1098, P. Ant. I, 29, P. Oxy. VI, 872 (verso) and P. Strasb. inv. Lat. 2. The analysis does not involve the exameters in themselves, but only the (usually marginal) annotations to the Auctor’s text, trying to put in evidence the coincidences and the differences comparing to the know tradition of Late Antiquity commentators. Apart from the comments in these fragments, the argumentum introducing the third book of Georgics in P. Ant. I, 29 is here analysed.
