Synopsis

This monograph offers a commentary on the 'catalog' of constellations at vv. 255-455 of the first book of Manilius' Astronomica. The commentary, embracing three levels (philological, literary, and scientific-philosophical), aims to analyze the presence in Manilius of Aratus' Phenomena, a poem widely read and translated in Rome. The discussion of the passage's many philological, exegetical and scientific questions, contained in the notes to single verses, is accompanied by an introductory essay, a critically revised text and a new Italian translation. The work aims to offer an up-to-date tool for examining a complex text that still raises questions.
