Revision as of 13:46, 27 November 2024
Pietro Luigi M. Leone (16 May 1937 – 29 November 2023) was an Italian philologist and university professor, Emeritus at the University of Salento.
A prolific textual critic and editor, he specialized in Byzantine literature.
Biography
Born in Pisticci in the Matera province,[1] Leone enrolled in the University of Naples and graduated in classics from there in the early 1960s, tutored by Vittorio de Falco.[2][3] After years of teaching in high schools in his native Basilicata, he obtained an assistantship at the University of Naples;[1] since 1975 he served as professor of Byzantine studies at the University of Salento, where he taught for the rest of his career.[2] In 1980, he chaired the IV Italian Congress of Byzantine Studies (Lecce – Calimera) and edited the proceedings.[4]
Leone retired from teaching in 2010 and was made Emeritus. He had one brother, Antonio "Nino", who served as master of the local middle school,[1] and two sisters named Lidia and Silvia.[5] He died in 2023 aged 87, in his native village.[1]
Research activity
Leone was primarily a textual critic and an editor of unpublished (or badly published) Byzantine texts.[2] He unearthed new works by the rhetor and philosopher Nicephorus Gregoras (fl. 14th century) and published several prose works of the same: two speeches to the emperor Andronikos II Palaiologus,[6] a speech to Hugh of Cyprus,[7] philosophical dialogues and treatises against Barlaam of Seminara,[8] hagiographical works[9] – including his biography of the emperor Constantine the Great[10] –, and his entire letters collection.[11] He also wrote exegetical essays of some difficult passages of Gregoras' philosophical works.[12]
The Byzantine author whom Leone studied for the longest time, however, was John Tzetzes (fl. 12th century). Leone provided the first modern edition of Tzetzes' most important works – the Historiae (of which he also studied the textual history, the manuscript tradition, the notes by the author himself, and various textual and exegetical aspects),[13] the Carmina Iliaca (a re-telling of the Trojan War)[14] and the Theogonia[15] — and of his letters collection.[16] Additionally, also of other poems and minor works by the same.[17] He also studied the manuscript tradition of Tzetzes' works and their fortune throughout the Byzantine millennium.[18]
Leone also edited the fictional letters of Claudius Aelianus (fl. 2nd-3rd century),[19] and the letters of the Byzantine philologist Maximus Planudes[20] and of the Greek humanist Theodorus Gaza;[21] he studied the Byzantine scholia to and the Byzantine paraphrases of the Alexandra by Lycophron (which he also critically edited),[22] and studied the manuscript transmission of Johannes Zonaras' Epitome historiarum.[23] In the 1970s, he revised the text of Aeschines' speeches – focusing on the papyri and their contributions – and published it with facing Italian translation for UTET.[24]
A lesser part of his scholarship was dedicated to the 11th/12th century-judge and poet Michael Haploucheir,[25] to the 14th century Byzantine statesman Nikephoros Choumnos,[26] to Tryphiodorus (3rd or 4th century),[27] to Stesichorus (6th century BC)[28] and to the humanist Julius Pomponius Laetus. He also edited chants 22 and 1 of Homer's Iliad for a non-scholarly audience.[29]
