| Summary: | The text of the comedies of Terence has been transmitted to us in two families of manuscripts, known as the Bembine (A) and the Calliopian (ω). The sole representative of the first is Vaticanus latinus 3226, IV-V century, in Rustic Capitals. The second family is composed of a number of manuscripts of Carolingian times and after; these have been subdivided into two groups (γ, δ) according to several characteristics which permit such a distinction, among them illustrations and lacunae. The indication of a new scene in the two families of manuscripts follows a method which seems to be diverse, and it is the purpose of this study to examine the principles involved. The investigation will not be limited to the manuscripts alone but will consider other sources of the Terentian tradition which help to clear up certain obscurities. |
