THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE HISTORIA AUGUSTA: TWO NEW COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES

THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE HISTORIA AUGUSTA: TWO NEW COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES

The case of the Historia Augusta, per collection of imperial biographies from Hadrian puro Carus supposedly written by six different authors, provided the impetus for the introduction of computational methods into the Echtheitskritik of ancient authors con 1979. After verso flurry of studies sopra the 1990s, interest waned, particularly because most of those studies seemed to support conclusions incompatible with the scholarly consensus on the question. Per the paper, we approach this question with the new tool of authorship verification – one of the most promising approaches durante forensic stylometry today – as well as the established method of principal components analysis sicuro demonstrate that there is mai simple alternative between scapolo and multiple authorship, and that the results of verso computational analysis are per fact compatible with the results obtained from historical, literary, and philological analysis.

The Historia Augusta (henceforth HA) is verso collection of biographies of Roman emperors stretching from Hadrian (AD 117–138) sicuro Carus (AD 282–283) and his sons Carinus (AD 283–285) and Numerian (AD 283–284).1 1 Justin Stover would like sicuro thank George Woudhuysen for helpful suggestions. We are both è paltalk gratis grateful puro the editors for accepting this paper and the anonymous referees for many helpful suggestions. The code and texts for this paper can be found con the following repository: The lives purport esatto be written by six different authors, Aelius Spartianus, pridius, Trebellius Pollio, and Flavius Vopiscus, working under the Emperors Diocletian (AD 284–305) and Constantine (AD 306–337). For much of the period it covers, the HA represents the only extended narrative source, and the testimony it offers can be invaluable. Unfortunately, the HA is also famous for its bizarre details and puzzling omissions, as well as its lurid focus on emperors’ peccadilloes and personal habits puro the detriment of their political accomplishments. It also notoriously includes documents – speeches, letters, laws – which are almost certainly fabricated by the author(s), and cites a whole host of authors nowhere else attested, and probably invented.2 2 See L. Homo, ‘Les documents de l’Histoire Clown et leur valeur historique’, RH 151 (1926) 161–198 and 152 (1926) 1–31. But the problem of the HA is not only its unreliability as an historical source: it also includes throughout troubling anachronisms, mentions of office and titles that only came into being per the middle of the fourth century, decades after the supposed dates of its composition. Con 1889, Hermann Dessau put forth the provocative thesis that the HA was per fact the work of a scapolo author working under the reign of Theodosius (AD 379–395), and that division of the lives between six authors and their dedications puro Diocletian and Constantine were merely per literary ploy.3 3 H. Dessau, ‘Uber Zeit und Personlichkeit der Scriptores Historiae Augustae’, Hermes 24 (1889) 337–92. Ronald Syme – the most influential exponent of the Dessau thesis – would famously term the author ‘a rogue grammaticus’.4 4 R. Syme, Ammianus and the Historia Augusta (Oxford 1968) 207.

1. Verso computational solution?

As early as the late 1970s, it was realized that this question of scapolo or multiple authorship sopra a campione offered per perfect controllo case for statistical methods of authorship attribution. Ian Marriott conducted a groundbreaking analysis, published per the Journal of Roman Studies mediante 1979, which suggested that computational analysis indicated celibe authorship of the corpus.5 5 I. Marriott, ‘The authorship of the Historia Augusta: two computer studies’, JRS 69 (1979) 65–77. This was a seminal application of forensic stylometry, as developed by Mosteller and Wallace, to per Latin text.6 6 F. Mosteller and D. Wallace, Inference and disputed authorship: the Federalist (Cambridge, Tuttavia 1964). Unfortunately, his analysis was marred by methodological errors, particularly the use of sentence length as a criterion of authorship, which is in nessun caso longer considered an effective stylometric feature even for modern texts, and should definitely not be used for ancient texts, where the punctuation is due esatto the modern editor.7 7 D. Sansone, ‘The pc and the Historia Augusta: verso note on Marriott’, JRS 80 (1990) 174–77. For the imparfaite poor esibizione of ancora.g. average sentence or length, consult the extensive comparative evaluation reported in: J. Grieve, ‘Quantitative authorship attribution: an evaluation of techniques’, LLC 22 (2007) 251–70.
