  • Summary

    The essay discusses ancient Homeric editions, what they looked like and how they compare to modern critical editions. One open problem is represented by the mention of many editions coming from different cities or curated by different ancient scholars, which are often quoted in the scholia derived by Didymus. Scholars are still now divided on whether these editions were inspected by Aristarchus or were quoted only by Didymus; while the answer to this question is open to debate, it seems almost certain that Aristarchus did consult manuscript evidence when preparing his edition, at least to some extent.
