The Oxford Dictionary of the Classical World
... are notes on a text, normally substantial sets of explanatory and critical notes written in the margin or between the lines of manuscripts. Many of them go back to ancient commentaries (which might fill volumes of their own). Scholia result from excerption, abbreviation, and conflation, brought about partly by readers' needs and partly by lack of space. Like their modern successors, ancient commentators sometimes guessed or talked nonsense, but at their best scholia are a mine of information, though less in Latin than in Greek. Aristophanes benefits...

... (plur. of Gk σχόλιον ) Notes, esp. of a critical, grammatical, or explanatory kind, inserted in the margins of an ancient MS. Their use was a regular practice in the Gk schools of later classical antiquity, and, probably through the contact between pagan and Christian culture at Alexandria, they were introduced by Christian scholars into the MSS of biblical and ecclesiastical texts.

... (sing. σχ ό λιον), line-by-line commentaries on literary or scientific texts, usually written on the margin of the text to which they refer. Many of them originated from Hellenistic commentaries, the debris of which were gathered and padded out primarily by Byz. scholiasts of the 9th-10th C., notably Arethas of Caesarea . The frequent occurrence one after the other of two or more versions of the same note demonstrates the compilatory character of most of these so-called Scholia Vetera. Some later scholia, for example, those of John Tzetzes or ...

...poets when they read earlier poets. Printed editions at first retained the layout of manuscripts and framed the text in scholia. Not until the 18th cent. did scholia begin to be analysed in earnest and edited in their own right. No recent editor has caused the same sensation as Villoison in 1788 when he published the scholia from the Venetus A and spurred Wolf to his Prolegomena of 1795 , the bible of the Homeric question. Editing scholia is an important task. Their instability, however, tends to make reconstruction arbitrary; and while bringing different...

...Homer. Scholars developed a system of marginal critical signs for such apparent errors as incorrect repetitions, interpolations, misorderings of lines, and spurious lines or passages. Corrections were normally not entered in the text itself, but made and justified in extended *scholia . Here, already, is an editorial practice founded on the exercise of critical judgment, in relation to issues of authorial style and usage. After the decline of Alexandrian scholarship, the copying and editing of Greek and Latin literary MSS continued at Pergamum, where Crates (...
