Abstract

We have finally at our disposal the first two columns of the highly awaited critical edition of the Derveni Papyrus by K Tsantsanoglou and G M Parassoglou (published in the "Studi e Testi per il corpo dei papiri filosofici greci e latini" and with some slight modifications in the "Corpus dei papiri Filosofici Grecie Latini"). This edition approves of W Burkert's proposition: the Derveni author quotes Heraclitus by name. Furthermore, this text provides the Heraclitean scholarship with a most surprising lesson: as the editors put it, "What had been known up to the present as two distinct and independent fragments (B3 and B94 DK = 57 and 52 M) appear now as one continuous fragment".
