The main topic of this project will be the interaction between authorship and exegetical function in ancient commentaries on poetry. It aims at a comparative examination, using as an example the commentaries on the works of Virgil. Due to its diverse subsets, the corpus of the Virgilian commentaries is particularly well suited for this analysis. It includes two autonomous commentaries ascribed to single authors (Servius, Tiberius Claudius Donatus), and several anonymous as well as pseudepigraphic collections of annotations. The comparison will take as its starting point the exegetical work of Servius, which represents a frequently investigated, but also a most controversially discussed part of the corpus. The analysis is based on the assumption that commentaries, as works with a didactic-exegetical function, use certain strategies of authorization to achieve their objectives. Studies on Servius suggest that a prominent role in this process plays the authorial "persona", i.e. the impression of an "authorial voice", that readers experience while using the commentary. This impression is caused by certain features of Servius' text, which will equally be found in other parts of the corpus, even if these are fragmentary, anonymous or collective. The aim of the project is to analyse such manifestations of "authorial voice" for the first time for collections, which cannot be ascribed to single authors. Comparing them with Servius will bring new insights into individual characteristics of the different collections as well as into general methods of annotating and commenting in antiquity. The result will be a better understanding of ancient exegetical and didactic practices.

本研究的主题是古代诗话中作者身份与训诂功能的互动。它的目的是一个比较检查，作为一个例子，维吉尔作品的评论。由于其子集的多样性，弗吉尼亚评论的语料库特别适合于这种分析。它包括两个自治的评论归因于单一的作者（塞尔维乌斯，提比略克劳迪亚斯Donatus），以及几个匿名以及pseudepigraphic集合的注释。比较将作为其出发点的训诂工作Servius，这是一个经常调查，但也是最有争议的讨论部分语料库。本文的分析基于这样一个假设，即评论作为具有训诂功能的作品，使用一定的授权策略来实现其目的。对塞尔维乌斯的研究表明，在这一过程中，一个突出的作用是作者的“人物”，即读者在使用评论时所体验到的“作者声音”的印象。这种印象是由塞尔维乌斯文本的某些特征造成的，这些特征同样可以在语料库的其他部分找到，即使这些部分是零碎的、匿名的或集体的。该项目的目的是首次对不能归属于单一作者的作品集分析“作者声音”的这种表现形式。将它们与塞尔维乌斯进行比较，将为不同收藏品的个体特征以及古代注释和评论的一般方法带来新的见解。其结果将是更好地了解古代训诂和教学实践。
