Horace’s Odes 1, 4; 4, 7 and 4, 12 commented by Porphyrio, Pseudo-Acro, Landino and Mancinelli (Venetiis 1492)
Abstract
This work examines the commentaries on Horace’s Odes 1, 4; 4, 7 and 4, 12 composed by Porphyrio, Pseudo-Acro,Cristoforo Landino and Antonio Mancinelli (Horatius cum quatuor commentariis, Venetiis 1492). After a brief overview of the Horatian exegetical tradition, we analyze the similarities and differences in terms of content and form between ancient scholia and Renaissance commentaries. Thus, we aim to highlight the interpretations on these poems by the different exegetes and its role in a scholastic context.
