Per la ricomposizione di rotoli ercolanesi scorzati

Abstract

Many of the scrolls from the Villa dei Papiri were opened through the so-called scorzatura and are consequently divided into fragments which received different inventory numbers. Working on these scrolls requires close attention to the question of the original position of the scorze. In addition to the already established methods, further elements will be analysed, which can be especially useful in cases where the loss of material during or after the opening of the scorze hinders the immediate availability of the necessary data.
