This edition contains the Greek text of the scholia (vetera and recentiora) and the glosses to
Euripides' Hippolytus with a critical apparatus and an apparatus of loci similes. Before the
text comes an introduction consisting of two chapters: the former sketches out the history of
the exegesis and critical interpretation of the Euripidean text in antiquity as well as the
creation and development of this scholiastic corpus while the other investigates more
accurately the manuscripts and the medieval and Renaissance tradition of the scholia to the
tragedy. At the end I added the edition of the Triclinian scholia to Hippolytus from Laur. 32.2
together with a metrical apparatus of the choral sections and then a Humanistic paraphrasis
which can be found in Mon. Gr. 258. The purpose of this work is to improve Schwartz's edition
both in recensio and constitution of the text. About what concerns the recensio this was
extended to sixteen manuscripts instead of the four used by Schwartz. The reassessment involved
not only the more recent manuscripts but also some witnesses dating to the Palaeologan age
disregarded or only partially collated by the former editor.
