71 Il commento di Charles K. Barrett agli Atti degli Apostoli. Note di lettura1 DONATELLA ZORODDU The monumental two-volume commentary by C.K. Barrett on the Acts of the Apostles (ICC), completed in 1998, is a milestone in the exegetical history of this New Testament document. A collection of notes, made during the preparation of the Italian edition of the commentary, is offered, without any claim to completeness. Most of the notes focus on grammatical and lexical questions, but some are also concerned with text critical issues and pay particular attention to the translation of the Greek text with which Barrett opens every pericope. The last section of the article deals with the oversights and inaccuracies that could cause the reader difficulty. Keywords: Charles K. Barrett, Acts of the Apostles, Ch. K. Barrett's Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, International Critical Commen- tary, grammatical, lexical, text critical notes, English translation of Acts. Il monumentale commento di C.K. Barrett agli Atti degli Apostoli non necessita certo di lunghe presentazioni: i due volumi di cui si com- pone circolano da oltre un decennio, e l’edizione originaria del primo ha compiuto quindici anni. Non intendo dunque proporre una recensione tradizionale, bensì una raccolta, senza alcuna pretesa di omogeneità e completezza, di note di lettura — una lettura con secondi fini, occorre dichiararlo subito, perché l’interesse pragmatico che l’ha guidata orienta 1 C.K.
