"Il libro indaga i diversi usi del vocabolo exodos, a partire dalla letteratura greca antica fino alla letteratura cristiana dei primi secoli, attraverso un percorso unitario e sistematico. Sono tre le domande principali che costituiscono il filo conduttore della riflessione: perché la partenza degli israeliti dall'Egitto viene chiamata exodos? la storia di tale sostantivo nella letteratura di lingua greca può spiegare questa scelta terminologica? fino a che punto tale scelta ha influenzato la ricezione dell'idea dell'esodo? Nella ricerca storica, filologica e biblica questa tematica non era stata finora affrontata in maniera sistematica ed esaustiva. Utilizzando un approccio lessicale, filologico e storico, il volume intende colmare una lacuna importante nella conoscenza di un termine che ha segnato la nostra storia sin dall'antichità."--

This volume explores the themes of authorship and authenticity – and connected issues – from the Classical Antiquity to the Renaissance. Its reflection is constructed within a threefold framework. A first section includes topics dealing with dubious or uncertain attribution of ancient works, homonymous writers, and problems regarding the reliability of compilation literature. The middle section goes through several issues concerning authorship: the balance between the author’s contribution to their own work and the role of collaborators, pupils, circles, reviewers, scribes, and even older sources, but also the influence of different compositional stages on the concept of ‘author’, and the challenges presented by anonymous texts. Finally, a third crucial section on authenticity and forgeries concludes the book: it contains contributions dealing with spurious works – or sections of works – , mechanisms of interpolation, misattribution, and deliberate forgery. The aim of the book is therefore to exemplify the many nuances of the complex problems of authenticity and authorship of ancient texts.
