The series 'Fragmenta Comica' will provide a complete commentary on the
fragments of Greek comedy. The aim of the commentary is twofold: on the
one hand, it is meant to make accessible these mostly rather challenging
texts from a number of different perspectives. On the other hand, it
should help in the reconstruction the plays where this is possible, as
well as in achieving a literary-historical classification of the
authors. The fragments and testimonia will be translated. The results
obtained in the commentary will be integrated into general surveys
published in the Studia Comica series: on comedy and comedy techniques
such as parody and satire as well as on its political function. The
project is planned to take fifteen years to complete.
