Il sistema di abbreviazioni dotte nei commentari e nei testi di studiosi

Abstract

The so-called "learned abbreviations" system has long been recognized in the context of paraliterary texts, because this articulated system is found precisely in commentaries or in scholarly books. If the system as a whole is known and its functioning has been described in some editions of single texts, however, a global approach and a specific discussion on this interesting aspect of ancient writing practice is lacking. My paper aims to deepen the data on papyrus in which this system is used, addressing some crucial points.
