en Hardback – 22 sep 2021
Philology, philosophy, commentary and reception in Plutarch's work are only some of the main topics discussed within a large academic output devoted to the writer of Chaeronea by Professor Paola Volpe Cacciatore. The volume is divided into four sections: Plutarchean Fragments, Quaestiones convivales, Religion & Philosophy, and Plutarch's Reception from Humanism to Modern Times. The eighteen studies collected in this volume, originally published in Italian and here translated into English, concern the Corpus Plutarcheum, including Table-Talks, De Iside et Osiride, the treatises against the Stoics, De genio Socratis, De liberis educandis, De musica, and some Plutarchean fragments. The volume is a tribute to celebrate the lifelong study of Plutarch's work by Professor Paola Volpe Cacciatore, one of the most remarkable Plutarchean scholars of the last decades.

Recenzii

"The volume is rewarding to read, not only for the information and insights it provides,but also – or even primarily – for its historical potential. Many readers will benefit fromthe English translations, gaining access to V.C.’s work for the first time. In my owncase, many of the essays were known to me before in their original versions, and I assumethat this must also be true for many other readers of this review. Be that as it may, in thepresent volume, these essays are put in a new context, which allows, if not encourages, them to be read not merely in relation to the questions discussed in the individual essays,but more broadly as a testimony to V.C.’s scholarly dedication to Plutarchan studiesover the last few decades. In other words, this book offers a window into the history ofcontemporary classical scholarship through the example of V.C., a woman who trulydevoted her life to Plutarch." Theofanis Tsiampokalos, The Classical Review (2022) 1–3
"Dal libro emerge la figura di una studiosa rigorosa ed appassionata, che fa convergere sinergicamente esame filologico ed indagine antropologica nello studio di temi spesso complessi e di esegesi non univoca senza mai perdere sensibilità culturale e profondità di analisi linguistica, filosofica e letteraria. La raccolta in lingua inglese degli Scripta minora di Paola Volpe Cacciatore per ciò rappresenta, oltre che un sentito omaggio di una comunità di studiosi plutarchei ad una sua illustre componente e al suo operato durante vari lustri, un valido contributo alla conoscenza, in un più ampio consesso internazionale, di una serie di rilevanti studi plutarchei, alcuni dei quali hanno svolto un ruo lo pionieristico o cruciale nella storia degli studi dell’opera del Cheronese." Vicente Ramón and Fabio Tanga, Ploutarchos 19 (2022): 127
