Le ragioni di un'edizione sinottica: il rapporto tra il secondo libro delle Artes di Sacerdote e i Catholica Probi

The second book of Sacerdos’ Artes and its parallel and stand-alone copy, Ps. Probus’ Catholica, preserve interesting traces of reuse in an anonymous tradition. By analyzing some selected passages from these two texts, the present contribution aims at evaluating the nature of their relationship and demonstrating that a synoptic edition is the only editorial option for producing the most faithful representation not only of what Sacerdos wrote but also, in certain cases, of how the work of this third century Ad grammarian has most likely been manipulated in the schools of Late Antiquity.
