Reseña

This book is not a dusty compendium but a virtuoso performance. It is truly outstanding on account of its comprehensive coverage of the field, the depth of its analysis, the lucidity of its presentation, and the sheer sense of fun that is conveyed by many of its pages [?]. It deserves to be read by every textual scholar? (Dániel Kiss, Exemplaria Classica, 20, 2016).?A new book came out last October that I think deserves the attention of NT text critics, especially those working on all things stemmatic [?]. Written with verve but also with a thorough knowledge of the subject, it should serve beginning students and seasoned scholars admirably? (Peter J. Gurry, volume is a didactic tool and at the same time a passionate and combative pamphlet; it speaks to students and colleagues at the same time and with the same stance? (Nicola Morato, French Studies, 2015).?A scholar said that before entering into an edition, one should first read Maas and Pasquali. This is a very good idea, but I think that Trovato?s book will do perhaps equally well. There is a clear presentation of problems, illustrated by a wealth of examples, there is fairness towards those who cherish another view, bringing forward what is good in what is considered mistaken. This is scholarship on a high level? (Bengt Alexanderson, Augustinianum, 2016).Paolo Trovato is a scholarly editor and book historian working on the field of medieval and Renaissance Italian literature. Professor of the History of the Italian language at the University of Ferrara since 1994, he was a Fellow at the Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (VIT) and at the Newberry Library, Chicago, as well as Visiting Professor in Aix-en-Provence and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.His books Con ogni diligenza corretto.
