Materiali e discussioni per l'analisi dei testi classici. 51.2003

MD was founded in Pisa in 1978 by a group of scholars of ancient literature, and nowadays is run by a scientific committee that includes notable European and American classicists.
The journal is valued as a research space open for the comparison of different methods of study. Through the analysis of classical texts, the historical-philological method of research confronts the problems and trends of present criticism, and at the same time investigates the language of culture and the forms and techniques of literary communication.
