Ancient Philosophy
‘We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts, have their root in Greece’, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley once wrote. It is in Greek that the questions which shaped the destiny of Western culture were asked, and so were the first attempts at an answer, and the search for a method of investigation. This book tries to rediscover the propulsive force that for over two millennia spread, and still lives in our system of thought. By systematically quoting the very words of the leading actors and by tracing their sources, it leads the reader along a path where they will be able to observe the establishment of philosophical ideas and language, in an updated and balanced picture of archaic lore, of the thought of the classical and hellenistic ages, and of the philosophy of late antiquity. The book looks closely at the progress of scientific thought and at its increasing autonomy, while following the evolution of the fruitful yet problematic relationship between the Greek world and the Near East.

The Antiatticist
The so-called Antiatticista is a Greek Atticistic lexicon crucial for understanding the Atticism of the 2nd cent. CE. The anonymous author approved a broader idea of Attic language in contrast to the most rigorous Atticists. For this (polemic) purpose, he used some older sources (in particular Hellenistic ones, such as Aristophanes of Byzantium) where he could find rich quotations from classical authors, especially from comic poets. Given that many of them are no longer extant, this work now represents the only source for them. The first critical edition of this lexicon is prefaced by a survey of its textual tradition, direct and indirect, which concerns its relationship to the Byzantine lexicon Synagoge. The authorship, the typology, and the sources of the work are also investigated. The unedited annotations by David Ruhnkenius for his planned edition of the text are appended. Comprehensive indexes are provided at the end of the book.

I tre volti di Catullo
Frammenti di una passione amorosa a tratti estrema, tracce di una delicata malinconia, la vita di un giovane colto e sofisticato. Per ciascun aspetto della sua personalità, Catullo ha sfumature e accenti appropriati: ora il tono greve dei vicoli e delle taverne, ora quello affettuoso del giovane poeta, ora quello di un fine letterato dalle straordinarie capacità espressive. In questa scelta di canti, Luca Canali e Lorenzo Perilli delineano una sorta di autobiografia catulliana, in cui il poeta, tramite i suoi versi, parla di sé e al tempo stesso lascia intravedere una Roma teatro di feroci scontri politici e giochi di potere, la Roma di Cesare e Cicerone, dei poetae novi e di Lucrezio. Una città che Catullo conosce bene: la ama e la odia come ama e odia Lesbia, la vive, la osserva e senza riserve ce la svela. Ne emerge il ritratto di un poeta polimorfo, che vive nei suoi versi e in una città che domina il mondo ma non riesce a dominare se stessa.
