Abstracts

EN

The present discussion aims to suggest that the introduction to the published version of Callimachus’ Pinakes was a possible source of information on the origin of the Alexandrian Library as provided by Tzetzes in the second prooemium in his Prolegomena de comoedia Aristophanis, and that the same source was alluded to by Athenaeus (V 203e).
