Il filologo al servizio del poeta (e viceversa): Giovanni Pascoli lettore di Catull. 95

Abstract

The contribution examines Giovanni Pascoli’s careful analysis of Catullus’ c. 95 in the anthology Lyra. Going beyond the horizon of the young students for whom the work is intended, the commentary is an all-round philological operation, aiming as much at a global exegesis as at focusing on minute details inherent in the meaning and textual reconstruction in the strict sense, non infrequently making learned and original choices.
