Abstract
Abstract In book 8 of his Naturalis historia , Pliny the Elder mentions the particularly savage character of some monkeys. Most editions and translations of Pliny’s text maintain that the reference to the fierce nature of these animals concerns both the cynocephali and the satyri . However, in the manuscript Riccardianus 488 (R in the transmission of Pliny), a second hand, contemporary to the period in which the text was copied, added supra lineam the obscure term * miarsima , which would refer to the nature of the satyri in opposition to that of the cynocephali . By examining part of the ancient zoological and geographic traditions, in particular the De natura animalium by Aelian, this article defends editing the text of Pliny with the adjective mitissima , already present in the first printed editions of the Naturalis historia , as follows: Efferatior cynocephalis natura sicut mitissima satyris .
老普林尼在他的《自然史》第八卷中提到了一些猴子特别野蛮的性格。普林尼文本的大多数版本和翻译都认为，这些动物的凶猛本性涉及到cynocephali和satyri。然而，在里卡多努斯488年的手稿(普林尼传述的R)中，一个与抄写文本的时期同时代的二手材料，在行上增加了一个模糊的术语* miarsima，它指的是与cynocephali相反的satyri的性质。通过研究古代动物学和地理学传统的一部分，特别是埃利安的《自然动物》，本文为用形容词mitissima编辑普林尼的文本进行了辩护，该形容词已经出现在《自然史》的第一版印刷中，如下所示:Efferatior cynocephalis natura sicut mitissima satyris。
