Postillati epicurei di Ettore Bignone

Some of the books of Ettore Bignone's library once owned by the Italian Latinist Luigi Alfonsi eventually came into the possession of the author of the present article. Bignone was a careful reader and added many remarks in the margins of his books; among these, several notes on Epicurean problems are worth studying. This because Bignone criticises well known scholars such as Constant Martha, Alfred Ernout, and Carlo Pascal, explains difficult passages and suggests alternative interpretations. Some of these notes have the length of a short article, but even his very brief comments are often of high scholarly interest.
