Anotaciones al texto del libro I de Tito Livio

Abstract

In the last lustra important works have appeared whose conclusions and material must be applied sistematically to the revision of the text of Livy. There are the paper of Ogilvie (Class. Quarl. 7, 1957, pp. 68-81) which ends with a well grounded stemma, Ogilvie's book (Oxford, 1965) and Packard´s Concordance (Cambridge, Mass., 1968). For doubtful or debatable passages the stemmatic criteria of Ogilvie should be applied as well as the Linguistic criterion based on the study of the loci paralelli, easy to apply after the new Concordance, The whole work of Livy is an essential linguistic and stylistic unity which accords special authority to the loci paralelli. Under the light of these criteria, the text of 121 passages of the preface and book 1 of Livy is studied. The author tries to justify the lections selected, offering in this work 10 conjectures or newly proposed lections. This paper has been made as a preparatory work for a new edition of Livy for the «Colección Hispánica de Autores Griegos y Latinos».
