Eduardo Luigi De Stefani
Eduardo Luigi De Stefani (born June 4, 1869 in Naples , † September 10, 1921 in Rome ) was an Italian classical philologist . From 1910 he was a lecturer in Greek and Latin grammar at the La Sapienza University in Rome.
De Stefani was mainly a Graecist . As a connoisseur of Greek palaeography , he wrote several studies on the transmission history of Greek authors, especially on the sophist Aelian and the Byzantine dictionaries (etymologics). He was working on a critical edition of the Etymologicum Gudianum , which, however, remained unfinished because of his untimely death. Together with Girolamo Vitelli , Medea Norsa and others, he was also one of the pioneers of papyrology in Italy.
