English summary: The series ‘Fragmenta Comica’ will provide a complete commentary on the fragments of Greek comedy. The aim of the commentary is twofold: on the one hand, it is meant to make accessible these mostly rather challenging texts from a number of different perspectives. On the other hand, it should help in the reconstruction the plays where this is possible, as well as in achieving a literary-historical classification of the authors. The fragments and testimonia will be translated. The results obtained in the commentary will be integrated into general surveys published in the Studia Comica series: on comedy and comedy techniques such as parody and satire as well as on its political function. The project is planned to take fifteen years to complete. German description: Die Reihe Fragmenta Comica wird die vollstandige Kommentierung der Fragmente der griechischen Komodie bieten. Ziel der Kommentare ist es, einerseits die in der Regel schwierig zu verstehenden Texte unter allen moglichen Gesichtspunkten zu erschlieaen, andererseits, wo dies moglich ist, eine Rekonstruktion der Stucke zu versuchen und eine literaturgeschichtliche Einordnung der Autoren vorzunehmen. Die Fragmente und Testimonien werden ubersetzt. Die in den Kommentaren erzielten Ergebnisse sollen in allgemeine Studien einflieaen, die in den Studia Comica veroffentlicht werden: zur Komik und komischen Techniken wie Parodie, Satire sowie zur politischen Funktion. Prof. Dr. Bernhard Zimmermann leitet die Forschungsstelle Kommentierung der Fragmente der griechischen Komodie an der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften. Die Arbeitsstelle des Projekts ist am Seminar fur Klassische Philologie der Universitat Freiburg angesiedelt. Ein Weblog berichtet aktuell uber den Fortgang des Projekts, das auf 15 Jahre ausgelegt ist. Das Projekt ist international vernetzt und arbeitet mit Zentren zur Erforschung der fragmentarisch erhaltenen griechischen Literatur in Italien, Groabritannien und den USA zusammen.

"Di ciascuna commedia Pellegrino, con sano giudizio e ragguardevole dominio bibliografico, esamina le varie proposte interpretative attraverso il confronto con la superstite produzione aristofanea e con quella degli altri commediografi, anche nei casi in cui di un dramma non ci sia pervenuto altro che il nudo titolo (...)." "(...) possiamo congratularci con Pellegrino per averci fornito un valido sussidio per la comprensione e l'interpretazione della figura e dei frammenti di Nicofonte." Giacomo Mancuso, BMCR 2014.04.40 "En resumen, nos encontramos ante un libro cuidadosamente escrito y editado, que supone un avance en los estudios relacionados con los fragmentos de la comedia y una excelente guia para emprender otros estudios sobre este campo de investigacion." Ignacio Rodriguez Alfageme, Estudios griegos e indoeuropeos 24 (2014), S. 395-396 "... questo aureo libretto si rivela un fondamentale sussidio alla coscienza degli oscuri meandri di una tradizione irrimediabilmente perduta, gettando nuova luce su un altro fra i minores e su alcuni aspetti ormai tipizzati della commedia ateniese durante il cruciale passaggio dall'Archaia alla Mese, negli anni in cui la polis e vittima di uno sconvolgente bouleversement politico e ormai sulla via di un amaro eppur irreversibile declino." Stefano Novelli, Lexis 32.2014, S. 475-478
