摘要：The commentary as a discursive genre may be described as a textual space of
cultural encounter. In order to enter the static cultural space laid down by the original text
and make it dynamic, the commentator must build up his own auctoritas. Macrobius’s
Commentarii in Somnium Scipionis and Calcidius’s Commentarius in Timaeum are interesting
examples of these textual spaces. This article focuses on the way both commentators have
resorted to obscuritas as a discursive strategy, so as to have access to the textual space and
shape their identities as readers, philosophers and writers.
