Abstract
Abstract–. This paper focuses on the analysis of detail, treated as a heuristic model for the sciences of Antiquity, from three different perspectives. First, it offers an analysis of the different ways the detail has been used in search of an archetype – both in textual criticism with K. Lachmann and in the history of the Byzantine miniature with N. P. Kondakov. The next step is to develop a historiographical approach to show how the detail was introduced in human sciences under the influence of natural sciences, and in particular of G. Cuvier, and the impact this had on the working methods which have been used. Finally, I discuss which ideas have been circulated in Classical studies on the concepts, and purposes, of the original and the copy.
