Dieses Buch stellt eine Einleitung zur neuen Ausgabe des griechischen Textes des Diogenes Laertios (Cambridge University Press) von Tiziano Dorandi dar. Es setzt sich aus drei Teilen zusammen. Der erste Teil enthält die Liste der Manuskripte, im zweiten Teil untersucht der Autor die Hauptzeugen der Überlieferung; im dritten Teil zeigt er die Textgeschichte im Mittelalter und in der Renaissance auf.

This book presents an introduction to a new edition of Diogenes Laertios’ Greek text (Cambridge University Press) by Tiziano Dorandi. It consists of three parts. The first contains the list of manuscripts, in the second, the author examines the main elements in the transmission, and in the third, he demonstrates the history of the text in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

This volume contains a new edition of the first two books of the Anthology of Joannes Stobaeus (5th c. CE) that will replace the outdated one by C. Wachsmuth published in 1884.

After having drawn up a detailed list of all the Greek manuscripts of the Anthology, Tiziano Dorandi analyzes the relationships between these witnesses in order to determine their importance in the establishment of Stobaeus' text. A stemma codicum will be drawn for this purpose.

The first two books are preserved in the manuscripts essentially in a largely epitomised redaction. We can get an idea of the textual state prior to the epitome thanks to Photius and several eclogues that have come to us by other sources and in which it is possible to discern probable traces of the structure and content of chapters that are now incomplete or lost in their entirety.

For the first time, the epitome (Recensio breviata) will be published in its own right, separate from the remains that we can assume will return portions of the text closer to the original redaction (Recensio plenior). The Greek text is accompanied by an apparatus reserved for manuscript readings and for conjectures.

This new edition will give an entirely new and more faithful idea of the first half of the Stobean Anthology.

Dieses Buch dient als Prolegomena zu einer Neuausgabe der ersten beiden Bücher der Anthologie des Stobaeus (5. Jh. n. Chr.). Diese Edition ersetzt die Ausgabe von C. Wachsmuth aus dem Jahre 1884. Tiziano Dorandi erstellt eine detaillierte Liste aller Handschriften der Anthologie und analysiert die Beziehungen zwischen diesen Zeugen, um ihre Bedeutung bei der Erstellung des Stobaeus-Textes zu ermitteln. Das erste Mal wird ein stemma codicum zu diesem Zweck verwendet. Die in der Edition angewandten Kriterien weichen erheblich von denen Wachmuths ab. Angereichert ist der Band mit einer Bibliografie, Indizes und einer Konkordanz.
