| Özet: | <p>My dissertation provides a new critical edition and commentary of Plautus’ <em>Trinummus</em> (ll. 1-601, 820-42a), along with an introductory section. The introduction is divided in six chapters:</p>
<p><ol><li>Text & Transmission</li>
<li>Date</li>
<li>Staging</li>
<li>Philemon</li>
<li>Language</li>
<li>Metre</li></ol></p>
<p>They are intended as samples of the issues which a scholar of Plautus has to face, and the outcomes of modern and contemporary scholarship on broad issues such as the intertextual relationship with the Greek model or the linguistic features of each group of speakers are tested on <em>Trinummus</em>.</p>
<p>The critical edition is based on a new collation of the principal mss. (late-antique, Carolingian, and two of the main representatives of the humanistic tradition) and on a collection of the evidence coming from indirect transmission. It follows the criteria set for the most recent critical editions of Plautus, the <em>Editiones Plautinae Sarsinates</em>. Accordingly, it features three apparatuses:</p>
<p><ol><li>an apparatus for the paratext (rubrics, scene-headings, change of speakers)</li>
<li>an apparatus for the colometry (division of lines in the <em>cantica</em>)</li>
<li>an apparatus for the variant readings and conjectures, the latter attributed with the greatest possible precision to the scholars who first proposed them</li></ol></p>
<p>Moreover, I provided a summary of the scansion of the commented lines (<em>conspectus metrorum</em>) and an overview of the most important rules of Plautine versification in the introduction.</p>
<p>The line-by-line commentary focusses on issues of transmission, language, metre, and style. Each scene has an introductory section where I discuss general questions related to the characters and the plot of the play.</p>
