In the last lustra important works have appeared whose conclusions and material must be applied sistematically to the revision of the text of Livy. There are the paper of Ogilvie (Class. Quarl. 7, 1957, pp. 68-81) which ends with a well grounded stemma, Ogilvie's book (Oxford, 1965) and Packard´s Concordance (Cambridge, Mass., 1968). For doubtful or debatable passages the stemmatic criteria of Ogilvie should be applied as well as the Linguistic criterion based on the study of the loci paralelli, easy to apply after the new Concordance, The whole work of Livy is an essential linguistic and stylistic unity which accords special authority to the loci paralelli. Under the light of these criteria, the text of 121 passages of the preface and book 1 of Livy is studied. The author tries to justify the lections selected, offering in this work 10 conjectures or newly proposed lections. This paper has been made as a preparatory work for a new edition of Livy for the «Colección Hispánica de Autores Griegos y Latinos»., No disponible.

The aim of this study is, following the steps of J. Chadwick in a recent paper, to try to find out the month of the fall of Knossos.

On the other hand, he examines the documents concerning activities, conunodities, and / or farming and livestock which can be placed in the seasonal year. On the available evidence, he thinks of August as the likeliest time when Knossos did fall., No disponible.

This paper is intended to be a comprehensive analysis of the evidence of ku-pa-ro in the Knossos Linear B tablets. Its main purpose is to set up the importance of such aromatic plant in the Mycenaean economy at Knossos and to identify what kind of sedge was concealed under the name ku-pa-ro and what part of the plant was used and for what purposes. What it is stressed is the usage of the Cyperus rotundus L. (i. e. the ku-pa-ro) in the industry of perfumes and as a food additive as well. What is inferred from the discussion on the evidence of ku-pa-ro issues a series of valuable data concerning the localization of certain place-names in the map of Crete, and concerning the explanation of ideogram *171. The high qualities of ku-pa-ro preserved in the tablets lead the author to assume that such a plant was cultivated in Crete and was one of the main aromatic plants used by the Mycenaeans in the making of perfumes., No disponible.
