Sommario/riassunto

The elegist Sextus Propertius (ca 50-ca 16 BC) is generally reckoned



among the most difficult of Latin authors. This study, the fullest survey of the manuscripts so far, considers the affiliation of more than 140 complete or partial witnesses and offers a thorough reassessment of the tradition.
