Alessandro Musino has passed his viva voce examination, thus completing his PhD in Greek Studies.

Congratulations to Alessandro Musino, who defended his PhD dissertation on 19 July 2023! His thesis on ‘The Transmission of Orion's Etymologicum’ was supervised by Christian Brockmann.

The dissertation examines all the manuscripts of Orion’s Etymologicum and investigates its main indirect witnesses, in order to finally sketch a complete picture of its transmission. Moreover, since all the manuscripts are, to a different extent, products of Byzantine learning, their content, sources, dating, place of origin and reception were also investigated.
