The Reception of Plautus’ Fragmentary Plays in the Scholarship of the Fifteenth to Seventeenth Century
Salvatore Monda (Molise)
The question of the authenticity of Plautus’ non-Varronian plays was already in antiquity a critical debate discussed so much that today most of our knowledge of the early Latin grammarians and of the scholarship of Republican Rome is derived from witnesses to the ancient textual criticism of Plautus. In the Middle Ages and at the beginning of Humanism interest in works transmitted in fragments suffered a considerable and general fall, from the sixteenth century it returned to the top of scholars’ interests.
In the Middle Ages Plautus’ plays were not known.1 However, knowledge of his name continued to be widespread, along with that of many other poets who were little known at that time and of whom today there remain only scanty fragments (NaeviusNaevius, EnniusEnnius, PacuviusPacuvius, and many others). This is the case, for instance, of some late-medieval lexica and other scholarly compilations, such as De poetis, De viris illustribus, and similar works.
An interest in the fragments of non-Varronian plays in the modern era would develop only once the corpus of twenty comedies was well known. But the study of fragments is necessarily connected to the cataloguing of the titles of the comedies ascribed to Plautus. When, in the first phase of Humanism, the main activity of scholars consisted in obtaining texts previously unknown, the first step was to compile indices of titles and to realize plans to rediscover and recover a great number of classical Latin manuscripts.2 For an author like Plautus at first there was no difference between titles of Varronian comedies and titles of lost comedies, even though GelliusGellius, who discussed this question, was well known. Let us look at the main stages of this story.
In the late Middle Ages many scholars compiled works in which they attempt to outline the biography of the Latin authors.3 Plautus is mentioned in the Speculum historiale by the Dominican Friar Vincent de BeauvaisBeauvais, Vincent de, which contains a chapter entitled De Plauto poeta comico et dictis eius,4 with scanty biographical information derived from GelliusGellius and a collection of sayings from the AululariaAulularia. The lemma Plaucius (later corrected to Plautus in the printed editions) that we find in the Liber de vita et moribus philosophorumBurley, WalterLiber de vita et moribus philosophorum by the scholastic philosopher Walter BurleyBurley, Walter5 certainly depends on Vincent de BeauvaisBeauvais, Vincent de. BurleyBurley, Walter’s work, which had an enormous fortuna, as witnessed by a very high number of manuscripts, is full of wrong attributions and gross chronological errors.6 On
