related with scholarly care


Explanation:
I am translating "didattica" as "scholarly". It is not the literal meaning, but I think this is what the author means. He/she seems to contrast the detailed and rigorous description of the events with the reconstructed (presumably less rigorously documented) parts ("parti sceneggiate").

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hey, ya know what? What you have entered was my working translation, exactly! although I was also thinking of "scholarly precision", or "scholarly attention".


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  jimdavis: told or even narrated or recounted, but not related. History is a story which is told

neutral  Lara Barnett: Absolutely not used in UK anyway (i.e. Related). / Could maybe be used in rarest of cases for emphasis, but would only be used after a more common synonym had established the context, but never in past tense - weird as it sounds - and not in this context.
