Despite its centrality and its impact from a historical perspective, commentary is usually considered a tool for deciphering great works or as a faint trace of intellectual activity. Except for a few instances in the field of philosophy, it has been reduced to an ancillary status and denied that of a text per se. This introduction presents the framework in which the project of this special issue developed, the questions that were raised, and the key elements that characterise commentaries and that ap-peared through the project.
儘管註釋在歷史上發揮著關鍵作用，但通常僅被視為理解古典作品的輔助工具，或是反映古人學術活動的細微痕跡。除哲學領域的少量研究外，註釋作為獨立文本的學術價值一直未得到充分重視，更多地被輕視為輔助工具。引言將介紹本專刊的研究框架和探討的核心問題，並揭示註釋在此過程中展現的獨特特質以及學術意義。
