Vient de paraître (open-access):Scrittore stoico anonimo, Opera incertaPHerc. 1020, coll. 104-112Introduzione, edizione e commento di M. Alessandrelli e G. Ranocchia«ILIESI digitale. Testi e tradizioni» 1Roma 2017http://www.iliesi.cnr.it/scheda.php?id=227&#38;cl=I/T&#38;lan=PHerc. 1020 (SVF 2. 131 = FDS 88) is one of the seven certain orprobable Stoic papyri of the Herculaneum collection. Since the papyrushas no subscriptio, the author and the title of the work contained init are unknown. Several elements seem to corroborate Hans von Arnim?sthesis that PHerc. 1020 hands down a work by either Chrysippus or oneof his immediate successors. New arguments are advanced here in favourof this authorship beside those formerly adduced by von Arnim, Pohlenzand Keil. As far as the book?s content is concerned, we are notallowed to conclude that it was merely ethical, rather than purelylogical or epistemological, nor that it only focused on the Stoicsage. On the contrary, from a detailed exegetical analysis and acomparison with the other evidence on Early Stoicism available to usit emerges that the work displayed a unique combination of ethics,logic and epistemology. By using new methods for the reading andediting of Herculaneum papyri, the editors have reconstructed for thefirst time the anatomy of the roll and the sequence of the fragments,while also establishing the Greek text on the basis of personalinspection of the original manuscript. This study is a new citicaledition of the last eight columns of the papyrus (coll. 104-112Alessandrelli-Ranocchia) ? the best preserved columns and the onlyones to have been studied by scholars so far ? and constitutes thefirst part of the comprehensive edition of PHerc. 1020 included in theProject ERC Starting Grant 241184-PHerc funded by the EuropeanCommission (FP7, Ideas, www.pherc.eu).
