Aphthonius; Catanaeus; progymnasmataAbstract
The first Latin translation of the Progymnasmata of Aphthonius to appear in print was the work of Joannes Maria Catanaeus, published in Bologna in 1507 by Caligula Bacilerius, and reprinted on several occasions during the first half of the sixteenth century throughout all of Europe. The comparison of these editions reveals differences, a fact that is not really noteworthy given publishers’ practice of altering texts to different degrees. However, the differences among Catanaeus’ editions do not appear to be minor; for this reason, I have collated the editio princeps and the second edition, published by Iacobus Mazochius in Rome in 1517, in order to establish the extent of these differences and their chronology, that is, whether they date back to the first editions or they appear in later ones.
