The article argues for an emendation in Plin. HN 9.126. Modern editors are accustomed to print the text cum testa uiuas, adopting J. Hardouin’s conjecture for cum terra uitis, the reading transmitted in most manuscripts. Nevertheless, the overlooked manuscript reading contritis conchis allows us to deduce a palaeographically neater solution contritis if conchis is considered a gloss which entered the text. ...

Принято считать, что древнеримские библиотеки, называемые в источниках «публичными» (publicae), в действительности были доступны для очень ограниченного круга людей, представлявших собой образованную элиту и приближенных принцепса. В статье рассматриваются сообщения Плиния Старшего о первой такой библиотеке в Риме, основанной Азинием Поллионом в Атрии Свободы. Автор первой в мире энциклопедии Плиний Старший высоко ценил доступность знаний, ...
