Volume 14 of the Comunicazioni dell'Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» is divided into three sections: 1. Editions and rieditions of texts; 2. Critical notes; 3. Chronique de lexicographie papyrologique de la vie matérielle. The first section includes the editio princeps of a papyrus of the Cambridge collection, and the new edition of two texts kept in Leipzig and Vienna. The second section includes a paper on a fragment of Archilochos, and another one on the festal letters. The third section, as in the previous volumes, concerns the international research project Contextes et mobiliers, de l'époque hellénistique à l'époque mamelouke. Approches archéologiques, historiques et anthropologiques (led by IFAO) and is divided into three sections: bibliographic update (Bulletin); corrections and notes on already published texts (Corr.Lex.Mat.); specific contributions on the lexicography of material culture (Études).

Questo studio si propone di illustrare talune caratteristiche peculiari della civiltà, all'interno della quale si realizzò la produzione drammatica di Euripide. I criteri seguiti nel commento sono quelli di evidenziare nella tragedia da un lato le fitte rispondenze (espressive e lessicali) della vasta tradizione poetica precedente, dall'altro far emergere gli echi del vivace dibattito, in atto all'interno della "polis" ateniese, sui valori religiosi, etici, politici, culturali e sociali.

Lying between the grammarians` and rhetors` domains, Aesop`s fables were known and employed in the Western and Eastern educational environments mainly for their intrinsically moral essence. Once having explored the literary and grammatical texts concerning the educational role of fables, the book is focussed on the direct witnesses of Latin and bilingual Latin-Greek fables (III-IV AD) coming from the Eastern school environments.

Through the analysis of texts written between the 4th century BC and the 2nd century AD, the article reconstructs the emergence in ancient Greece of two opposing paradigms of the doctor-patient relationship, one based on dialogue and persuasion (peithó), and the other on the imposition of authority. In particular, the latter model proves to be amply suited to illustrating, in various Greek literature texts – and first of all the political dialogues of Plato –, the relationship between those who hold political power and those subjected to it. Taking into account a famous passage in the Laws, which in a very effective diptych contrasts the doctor of the free and the doctor of slaves (IV 720a- e), there is also an investigation of the subsequent fortune of some motifs present in that text, with particular attention to the reinterpretation to be made of it several centuries later by Galen.

The volume contains the transcription of the reports presented at the International Conference held in Florence on 14th and 15th June 2012: there are 15 original essays, written (upon request) by authoritative scholars of various Italian and foreign universities, on the important contributions made by their papyrus finds over more than a century to the knowledge of the lost works by Aeschylus and Sophocles, as well as on the value of the papyri for the constitution of the text of their preserved tragedies. The essays are equally divided between Aeschylus and Sophocles, and touch on all the major questions which the study of papyrology has raised for the philological and literary research on the two great tragedy writers. Both for the prestige of the authors and for the variety of the topics addressed, the volume offers an interesting and authoritative picture of the 'state of the art' of the studies in this regard, in light of the interrelationships between papyrology and Greek literature.

Giuliano l'Apostata, l'ultimo imperatore pagano, è oggetto a Bisanzio di un'aspra condanna che diventa quasi topica. Ma Giuliano è anche l'autore di opere della letteratura greca, che furono in buona parte trasmesse dai copisti bizantini, e inoltre voci più o meno favorevoli a Giuliano, per quanto rare, non mancarono del tutto. Anche Sozomeno, storico ortodosso del quinto secolo che lo condanna per la sua politica anticristiana, evita dimostrazioni di astiosa ostilità. Egli anzi sceglie di esaltare il cristianesimo e la sua origine divina dimostrando che anche un nemico abile e di valore come Giuliano è impotente. Il suo atteggiamento di rispetto verso la figura dell'ultimo imperatore pagano è paragonabile a quello di altri autori cristiani di varie epoche, come Chateaubriand e Benedetto XVI. ; The harsh condemnation in Byzantium of Julian the Apostate, the last pagan emperor, is almost a common place. But Julian was the author of works of Greek literature, most of which were transcribed by Byzantine copyists, and other voices more or less in his favor, even if rare, could still be heard. Sozomenos, too, an orthodox historian of the fifth century, condemns him for his anti-Christian politics, but does not show open hostility. He chooses to glorify Christendom and its divine origin by showing that even an intelligent and worthy enemy like Julian was impotent against it. Sozomenos has respect for Julian, as have other Christian writers of more recent times, for example Chateaubriand and pope Benedict XVI.
