Modern catalogues present Laurentianus 32.9 as the principal medieval Aeschylus book

Twentieth-century Laurenziana catalogues and photographs made the Medicean Aeschylus (Laurentianus 32.9, 10th/11th century) a public scholarly object. Without this book the seven plays’ medieval path is thinner. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

Twentieth-century Laurenziana catalogues and photographs made the Medicean Aeschylus (Laurentianus 32.9, 10th/11th century) a public scholarly object.

Context

Without this book the seven plays’ medieval path is thinner. He did not bind it.

Aeschylus is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A Florentine shelfmark is not a didascalia of 458.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

    Transmitted plays under his name plus later editors, actors, or states. Complex, not an autograph of 458.

What changed

Fact → Driver → Indicator. Relationship strength orders the paths; it is not the observed indicator movement.

What the sources establish

Modern catalogues present Laurentianus 32.9 as the principal medieval Aeschylus book (1950-01-01). Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
