English summary: Quinto Mucio, jurist and theologian, protagonist of Roman political life in one of the most convulsive periods of the Republican age, was the first author of a treatise on civil law, in 18 books, in which he revealed both his knowledge of Greek philosophy, and his talent as an innovator compared to the previous legal tradition. The interpretative sensitivity of Jean-Louis Ferrary, Aldo Schiavone, Emanuele Stolfi, is due to the reconstruction of the biography of Quinto Mucio and his entire work, realized through a careful work of textual restitution and made accessible thanks to the translation of more than a hundred fragments handed down, each of which was subjected to a broad analytical comment. Italian description: La figura e il pensiero di Quinto Mucio Scevola (140 circa – 82 a.C.; console nel 95), uno dei fondatori del pensiero giuridico romano, vengono presentati per la prima volta in questo volume, che inaugura una nuova Collana dell’Erma di Bretschneider dedicata agli Scriptores iuris Romani, inserita nel contesto di una ricerca finanziata dall’European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant 2014, diretta da Aldo Schiavone; Host Institution il Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche della Sapienza, Universita di Roma). Quinto Mucio, giurista e teologo, protagonista della vita politica romana in uno dei periodi piu convulsi dell’eta repubblicana, e stato il primo autore di un trattato di diritto civile, in 18 libri, in cui rivelava sia la sua conoscenza della filosofia greca, sia il suo talento di innovatore rispetto alla tradizione giuridica precedente. Alla sensibilita interpretativa di Jean-Louis Ferrary, Aldo Schiavone, Emanuele Stolfi, si deve la ricostruzione della biografia di Quinto Mucio e dell’intera sua opera, realizzata attraverso un attento lavoro di restituzione testuale e resa accessibile grazie alla traduzione dei piu di cento frammenti tramandati, ciascuno dei quali e stato sottoposto ad un ampio commento analitico.
