Plautus in der Frühen Neuzeit. Группа авторов

explaining the criteria adopted and mentioning the work of reconstructing LambinusLambinus, Dionysius’ notes («Hi commentarii manu Lambini ita scripti erant ut non codex sed adversaria viderentur esse»). With regard to the fragments Helias writes: «Adiunximus Plautina loca ex antiquis Grammaticis a Georgio Fabricio collecta et a Petro Daniele Aurelio doctissimo viro quibusdam in locis correcta et aucta». In fact, the edition is not very different from that of FabriciusFabricius, Georg, of which it contains all the brief notes of comment, but it contains some additions and corrections, as well as an extra comedy, ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus’s Clitellaria.

      The first edition of Friedrich TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich, which appeared in 1605, also reproduces for the most part the edition by FabriciusFabricius, Georg with Daniel’s additions.58 The edition begins with a dedicatory epistle to ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus, LipsiusLipsius, Justus, and Casaubon. In the second edition of 1612, however, the fragments are provided with a broader commentary.59 TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich accepts many of ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus’s conjectures and proposes the same reconstruction of the Astraba sive Clitellaria. In the preface to the fragments he writes (p. 1233): «Aliis itaque cunctantibus aut prorsus forte nolentibus ego hanc operam sumere coactus fui quod in priori editione a me fieri debuisse per epistolam ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus expostulaverat».60 TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich also quotes an epistle by ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus (pp. 1314–1315) in which is written:

      Quae non sunt Plauti, qualia illa olim Amphitruoni infulta et Prologus Bacchidum et reliqua non quidem recentioris sed tamen sequioris aevi in privatum locum coniici debent. Praeterea Fragmenta omnia sedulo ad calcem ponenda et illustranda. Hoc modo luculentum Plautum promittere potes.

      Thus, ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus also gave instructions on how to do the edition. In fact, TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich’s is organized in a different way from all the others that preceded it, because each title and fragment is immediately followed by the commentary with the specification of the source. The approach corresponds to that of modern editions of fragmentary texts.

      The first edition of Johann Philipp PareusPareus, Johann Philipp is in open controversy with TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich.61 The collection of fragments is based on that of DanielDaniel, Pierre, with the addition of a few notes in the margins. In the second edition PareusPareus, Johann Philipp has at his disposal the Latin grammarians by Helias Putschius and, for VarroVarro and Festus, he refers to ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus’s Coniectanea and Castigationes.62 The third and final edition is in 1641,63 published in disagreement with Janus GruterusGruter, Jan and his revised and corrected reprint of the TaubmannTaubmann, Friedrich edition.64 PareusPareus, Johann Philipp’ commentary is of some cultural interest in revealing seventeenth-century attitudes to the ancient authors and their texts, and even for his vain attempts to attribute some titles to M. AcciusAccius Plautus, others to A. Plautius, and others again to an M. Acutius. From this time on, approximately until Friedrich Bothe, the numerous editions of Plautus’ plays do not, at least in the fragments, present any important novelties.

      A study dealing with the early modern tradition of Plautus’ non-Varronian plays shows once again the new kind of inquiry practised by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century scholarship on the texts transmitted in fragments. Apart from some interpretations that are now only of historical value, the great effort early modern scholars put into Plautus’ fragments is testified by the number and quality of their emendations still recorded in our critical editions. ScaligerScaliger, Joseph Justus and many other scholars of the time, with their ambitious and innovative writings, played a special part in the cultural process of modern Europe also by collecting and studying the fragmentary remains of the past.
