The Philologist at the Service of the Poet (and Vice Versa): Giovanni Pascoli Reader of Catull. 95

The contribution examines Giovanni Pascoli’s careful analysis of Catullus’ c. 95 in the anthology Lyra . Going beyond the horizon of the young students for whom the work is intended, the commentary is an all-round philological operation, aiming as much at a global exegesis as at focusing on minute details inherent in the meaning and textual reconstruction in the strict sense, non infrequently making learned and original choices.
