Descrizione

In this article, I examine one of the numerous loci vexati that make difficult, even today, the correct reading of the description of Varro’s Aviary in the third book On agriculture. It concerns the distribution of the water for the birds kept in the porticoes situated in the courtyard of the Aviary. In this case, the return to the humanistic editions, and in particular to those of Pier Vettori published by Sebastien Gryphe in Lyon (1541 and 1543) allowed us to understand that it is an error of punctuation which is at the origin of the erroneous interpretation of the passage in all the modern editions.
