Encyclopedia
Attilio Degrassi was a pioneering Italian
scholar of Latin epigraphy
.
Degrassi taught at the University of Padova where he taught, among others, the epigraphist Silvio Panciera, currently on the faculty of the University of Rome "La Sapienza".http://w3.uniroma1.it/archeologia/Docenti/Docente057/Pancieracv.htm
As an epigraphist Degrassi was extremely influential, not only in collecting and publishing inscriptions, but also in defining the discipline and training some of those who would become its leading practitioners. Especially influential was his work Inscriptiones latinae liberae rei publicae that appeared between 1957 and 1963 in two volumes. He published Republican Latin inscriptions (the fasti consulares, for example) and made them accessible to scholars and students alike. A review of the work in the journal Classical Philology praised the quality of the editing and the importance of the collection. (vid. S. Irvin Oost Classical Philology 60, No. 1, Jan., 1965).
