Didymus of Alexandria (also known as Chalcenterus, ‘bronze-guts’, for his outstanding ability to ‘digest’ and rework the scholarship of his predecessors) played a pivotal role in the understanding and reception of many classical Greek authors, both in antiquity and in modern times. His commentaries on the comic playwrights influenced ancient and modern scholarship alike and constitute to this day an invaluable repository of information for the study of ancient Greek comedy, the history of Hellenistic philology, and more. This is the first critical edition (with English translation and commentary) of all the extant fragments of Didymus’ commentaries on the comic playwrights.

"When establishing the critical text of the scholia transmitting excerpts of Didymean exegesis, Benuzzi presents all extant material on the same word or phrase as a single textual unit, arranging it in a form that respects as far as possible the way it is transmitted by the manuscripts. (...) "In conclusion, this book not only offers a substantial contribution to the study of Didymus’ exegesis of Attic Comedy, but provides its readers with a reliable tool for investigating Aristophanes’ text and the problematic but fascinating crowd of ancient commentators on it."Pietro Berardi in BMCR 2025.02.45
