INTRODUCTION

Several years ago I was honored by a request of the late Cardinal Giovanni Mercati to prepare a Catalogue of a number of Latin manu­ scripts belonging to the Barberini Collection in the Vatican Library. It is only too well known that the modern scholar in Renaissance studies often finds himself at a loss for a published edition of his humanistic work, in some instances, even when the text in question is of no small importance. The student of the fifteenth century yet awaits a single complete modern edition of Guarino Veronese as well as of many of the other important Latin poets and prose writers of this period. The Barberini collection, comparatively unfamiliar to scholars because of the lack of a catalogue com­ piled in accordance with modern standards, contains a wealth of humanistic writings. Although humanistic works are scattered throughout the whole collection, codex Barberinianus latinus 42 is outstandig for the extensive anthology of Renaissance Litera­ ture which it contains. Barb. lat. 42 is a miscellaneous collection of Renaissance poems, letters, orations, etc., copied by Ludovico Sandeo when he was twenty years old, as he testifies in his own hand (f. 40v) : L u d o v ic u s Sandeus scripsit an(n)o â Christi nativitate MCCCCLXVI Aetatis v(er)o ei(us) X X ° Aug. X III0. He probably made his selection from anthologies of authors from his native Ferrara and neighboring cities. Although the manuscript contains Latin translations of Greek authors, for example, Leonardo Bruni Aretino’s translations of Xenophon and Latin texts of Lactantius and Cornelius Nepos, it holds a greater interest for the Renaissance scholar in that many humanistic items of Sandeo’s choosing have been largely neglected by modern criticism. The existence of such a manu­ script did not, however, escape the attention of scholars such as

Introduction

Baron and Kristeller who quickly noted its importance and recom­ mended a thorough investigation of its contents 1. Most fortunately for our purposes, Professor Kristeller found a manuscript which is similar, although not identical, to Barb, lat. 42, namely MS 100.42 of the Cathedral Library of Toledo. 1 H. B a r o n , Leonardo Bruni Aretino, 173 ; P a u l O. K r i s t e l l e r , ‘ Renaissance Research in Vatican Manuscripts ’, 80, n. 37 ; previous to Baron and Kristeller, but after Battaglini, knowledge of the existence of the Zelada manuscript was evidenced by two scholars, namely, C a r l o d e R o s m in i , in his Vita e disciplina di Guarino Veronese, vol. 2, 120-121, who mentions T while discussing the poetry of Girolamo Guarini (the passage is found in our appendix to this author), and G. B. Ca r l o G i u l i a r i , in his Della letteratura Veronese al cadere del secolo X V , 78. Giuliari lists it among manuscripts containing the poetry of Guarino Veronese (see the appendix mentioned above). Seemingly Sabbadini makes no reference to T in his various works. This is strange since it would have been particularly pertinent to his list of the poetry of Guarino Veronese in his work La scuola e gli studi di Guarino Guarini Veronese, 231-3. G i u l i a r i (1. c.) does, in fact, give a list of the poetry of Guarino Veronese, which is based in part on T, only some twenty years before the appearance of Sabbadini’s work. Reference to the Barberini manuscript is more frequent in the previous century. It was known by the two editors of the works of Auso­ nius, C. S c h e n k l (D. Magni Ausonii opuscula) and R. P e i p e r {Decimi Magni Ausonii Burdigalensis opuscula). Various poems of Ausonius are contained in the Barberini manuscript : a) ‘ versus supra duodecim Caesares ’ (f. 226r) ; b) epigrams 16 and 17 in the edition of Peiper (f. 307v) ; and c) one poem ‘ de mensibus ’of the eclogues (f. 318v) : Peiper, ed., p. 103 and p. 99. Schenkl gives a description of the codex on p. xxviii, Peiper on p. lxxviiii. B, more­ over, contains certain pseudo-Ausonian works (‘ de rosis ’, f de musis ’) which both Peiper and Schenkl have edited without making reference to B. Among more recent scholars Who have made mention of B is Sabbadini. In his La scuola e gli studi, referred to above, he oftens indicates B, especially in his list of the poetry of G. Veronese (pp. 231-2), in particular, concerning the poems : a) ‘ corpus ut in membra ’ ; b) ‘ esse Iovis natas cecinere poe­ mata musas ’ (this is the ‘ carmen de novem musis ’ for Which Sabbadini indicates only B) ; c) ‘ nix ego de caelo spisso delapsa volatu ’. On pp. 221-4 of the same work, Sabbadini carries the text of Guarino Veronese’s letter ‘ Bene ac prudenter parentes mei ’, using the text of the Barberini manu­ script. Bertalot also knew and used Barb. Lat. 42; he quotes from it, for exam­ ple, in his ‘ Humanistisches in der Anthologia Latina ’, Rhein. Mus. 66 (1911) 77, when speaking of the poetry of Francesco Filelfo contained on ff. 324v-325r in B. Bertalot, relying on the testimony of B, therefore, is able to ascribe these poems definitely to Filelfo. Most recently, V. Branca refers to B in connection with the text of the ‘ De claris mulieribus ’ of G. Boccaccio contained on ff. 160r-222v ; see his work, Tradizione delle opere di Giovanni Boccaccio, 96.

Introduction

A considerable number of the humanistic texts in Barb. Lat. 42 are found in the manuscript of Toledo, once in the possession of Cardinal Francesco Saverio Zelada. Comparison of the two manuscripts often facilitates research and strengthens the conclusions drawn from each. The circumstances of Professor Kristeller’s discovery of the Toledo manuscript afford an excellent example of the element of chance to which even the most exhaustive research scholar has to be resigned. He had been informed by Prof. A. Campana that the University Library of Bologna contained a catalogue2, compiled by Angelo Battaglini, describing the Library of Cardinal Zelada (now chiefly to be found in Toledo3). In his examina­ tion of this catalogue, Prof. Kristeller came upon a manuscript (no. 1589 in Vol. II) which was evidently an anthology of humanistic writings. In his first visit to the Spanish Library he was unsuccessful in finding the codex described by Battaglini. A second visit seemed a similar failure, even though he had diligently searched the card file by subject matter as well as authors, a suggestion given him by Prof. Eugenio Massa. In the course of his search, how­ ever, he noted a rather vague and confusing indication under Ora­ tiones which he copied out for future inquiry. He did not suspect from so meager and misleading an entry that this was the manuscript of 2 The Library of Cardinal Francesco Saverio Zelada is described in Angelo Battaglini’s catalogue, now in the University Library of Bologna, MS 4256, 2 vols. (mm. 270 X 200), with the title Latinorum Italorum Gal­ lorum Hispanorumque Manuscriptorum Codicum Zeladianae Bibliothecae Cata­ logus. This title precedes the first fascicle of the first volume, while the paper cover which binds the two volumes of loose fascicles carries the entry Mss 45, Codici Zeladiani. Catalogo del Can. Angelo Battaglini. Vol. I. II. The cata­ logue contained a description of 1.777 manuscripts. The first volume is in a mutilated condition and commences on p. 141 with MS 226. The second volume begins with MS 860 and ends with MS 1777. The page enumeration is found partly in the original script (saec. xviii) in ink, and partly in a recent hand in pencil. The first volume contains pp. 141-853 (pp. 141-581, according to the original enumeration), volume two, 837 pages (pp. 1-216, original enumeration). T is described in the second volume, p. 568 and carries the number 1589. 3 Some manuscripts were later transferred to Madrid (see P. O. K r i s ­ t e l l e r , Latin Manuscript Books before 1600, 201), while others, in all pro­ bability, remained at Rome (see G. Card. M e r c a t i , Note per la Storia di alcune biblioteche romane nei secoli X V I - X I X , 64-88; 175-6). Cardinal Mercati was especially concerned with the Zelada Library, particularly in relation to the famous manuscript of Plato, Vat. Gr. 1.

Introduction

his search. The Toledo manuscript does, in fact, contain several orations, but they are very few in number and by no means char­ acterize the manuscript. In his subsequent correspondence from New York with the Librarian Canon Francesco Ribera, he requested specific information on the contents of this manuscript. He was immediately able, from the data generously supplied him by Canon Ribera, to identify the Rattaglini entry as the Toledo manuscript No. 100.42. He obtained a microfilm of the codex to study its con­ tents for his forthcoming work, Iter Italicum. With great generosity he later put the microfilm at my disposal and thereby made it possi­ ble for me to compare the material of the Toledo manuscript with that of the Rarberini. Furthermore, Prof. Kristeller was kind enough to permit me access to his Iter Italicum material (part of which is at the moment, in proofs and part of which is yet in manuscript form). This material contributed greatly to the compilation of exact data on the various authors and works in the two codices which I have examined. Even a hasty comparison of B and T (we will use these two letters in the following discussion to indicate, respectively, the Bar­ berini and the Toledo manuscript) reveals many similarities. Yet closer examination discloses an equal number of relevant dissimi­ larities. First of all, there is a greater wealth of material in T than in B ; in addition to this, the works which are in both T and B, are found to have a superior text in T 4. T has a greater variety of 4 It was not our intention, in this work, to publish the texts of the two Humanistic anthologies, and, consequently, we have not made a system­ atic study of comparison between the texts which they have in common. Nevertheless, in the comparative reading which was required on more than one occasion, we noted a distinct and continual superiority in the text of T. For example, in a poem of Antonio Astesano (T 183v-185r ; B 323r-324v) V. 8, a pentameter, reads in B : ‘ Nec nova nec rara ergo ferenda nota est ' ; T, however, reads : ‘ Nec nova nec rara haec, ergo ferenda nota est ’. Y. 57, an hexameter, of the same poem is found in T as : ‘ Tuque sequare dei manifesta exempla licebit ’ ; B has ‘ Tu ’ for ‘ tuque ’. Moreover, the line appears extremely confused : ‘ Tu sequare (‘ sequere ’ having been written first, then emended) manifesta dei ex. 1. ’ ; the line contains marks to indi­ cate the inversion of the two words, ‘ manifesta ’ and ‘ dei ’. In general, therefore, although it cannot be said that the text of T is perfect, we can, it seems, safely affirm that it is, as a rule, more correct than B . At a later date, perhaps, we might be able to publish the unedited texts of these antholo­ gies ; at the present moment, we have limited ourselves to the choice of only a few.

subject matter; B seems to have been designed tho supply the reader with themes almost scholastic in character or at least of local interest. Almost all of the compositions of B are found in T, one of the most notable exceptions, to this being the poetry of Francesco Ariosto. We may easily explain this if we consider that Ludovico Sandeo, who executed the Barberini manuscript, was the nephew of Francesco Ariosto (his mother being Ariosto’s sister) and, conse­ quently, might easily have discovered his uncle’s compositions among the various family papers. The present work is divided into two chapters, treating T and B respectively. The text is followed by four appendices, the first and the second of which consider some of the lesser known authors whose poetry is found in both manuscripts. The third appendix, contains a discussion of Leonardo Bruni’s invective against Niccolò Niccoli, together with the text of the invective taken from both B and T. The last appendix concerns Ludovico Sandeo. In conclusion, I should like to express my indebtedness to those who have assisted me in the preparation of this work. Above all, I am especially grateful for the encouragement and assistance given me by the late Cardinal Giovanni Mercati, whose guidance in the study of Humanistic manuscripts, particularly those in the Bar­ berini collection, was of inestimable value. Moreover, I owe a similar debt to Cardinal A. M. Albareda for having encouraged me to con­ tinue my study of these manuscripts, a pursuit abandoned on more than one occasion. Among my colleagues and friends, I should like to thank, first of all, Professor Paul 0 . Kristeller for his unsparing aid ; he was so generous as not only to lend me his own notes and the microfilm of the Toledo manuscript, but also to review and correct my work in all of its various stages. It would be difficult to exaggerate the benefit I have received from his vast knowledge of the field. The material discussed in this work formed the subject of a seminar held in Heidelberg with scholars of classical and medieval philology, among whom, in particular, I owe a debt of gratitude to Professors W . Bulst, Y. Poschl and F. Dirlmeyer for their valued suggestions. I hope that I may be able in the future to comply with their kindly expressed desire to see many of the present humanistic works published. My thanks are equally extended to my colleagues of classical philology at the University of Bonn, H. Herter, G. Luck,

Introduction

and W. Schmid. I should like to express sincerest thanks to the various library directors whose assistance I had occasion to call upon, particularly, the Prefect of the Vatican Library, Rev. Alfonso Raes, S. J., and the Directors of the Ambrosian Library, of the libraries of Bologna, Brescia, Cremona, Ferrara, Florence (the Laurentian and the National), Grenoble, Heidelberg, Modena, Toledo and Verona (the City and the Capitular). To the list of these libraries which have furnished me with microfilms or have permitted me to examine the various manuscripts at first-hand, I should like to add the numerous American libraries which have shown me great cour­ tesy and generosity in putting even their most rare and valuable volumes at my disposal. Among these I may mention especially the libraries of New York (Fordham, Columbia, Morgan, and New York Public), of Chicago, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and the Library of Congress. Finally, I wish to mention my indebtedness to my colleagues and students at Fordham Univer­ sity for their generous assistance in the final drafting of the present work *.

* While the present work was in the final stage of printing, the first volume of Professor Kristeller’s Her Italicum (London-Leiden 1963) appeared ; the page references to this work have been corrected accordingly.

Nos. 1-3 were intended as orations delivered, respectively, by Demo­ sthenes, Aeschines and Demades. Neither T nor B indicate the intended author for the fourth oration ; T leaves a blank space where the pseudo­ author’s name should appear, while B carries simply ‘ cuiusdam atheniensis ’. On the author and the text, see the article by Sabbadini cited above. For additional manuscripts, cf. J. R u y s s c h a e r t , Codices Vaticani Latini 1141411709, 286 (MS 11548, 73v-75v).

Chapter I

susceperim, des. quod ut fiat vehementer etiam atque etiam rogita­ bimus. D ix i6. 10. (ff. 12r-v) Guarinus Veronensis fratri Marchioni s.p.d. Ine. Quantum discipulo praeceptor debeat nescius non es, quem parentis loco omnes statuerunt, des. vere locupletes sunt et habentur. Vale et me in Lanfranchino ama. Ex ferraria XXV martii 1441 7. 6 A brief oration by Bartolomeo Casciotti (or Casciotto) of Florence celebrating the marriage of a certain (unidentified) member of the nobility. The composition seems to be more in the character of a school exercize, and it is difficult to determine whether it was occasioned by a real event. The two most probable occasions which suggest themselves are the mar­ riages between Leonello d’Este and Margherita Gonzaga (d. 1439) in 1435, and between Leonello and Maria d’Aragona in 1444. At any event it is un­ likely that the oration was actually delivered. The marriage of Leonello d’Este and Maria d’Aragona was celebrated in an oration of Guarino Veronese, the text of which is in the Palatine codex 262 in the Library of Parma, ff. 28v30v. Cf. S a b b a d in i , La scuola, 23 ; B e r t a l o t , ‘ Uno zibaldone . . . a Parma ’, 73-87. For a discussion of the works of Casciotti, see Appendix I at the end of this work. Immediately following the epithalamium of Casciotti, T (ff. l l v-12r) contains the text of prayer and formula used in the marriage ceremony, in Italian. Inc. E t impero nui pregaremo lo omnipotente dio e la soa madre gloriosa, des. per vostro legitimo sposo et marito et in lui con­ sentire. In fine : cetera itidem ut superius dicuntur. 7 A letter of recommendation by Guarino Veronese written to a reli­ gious on behalf of a member of the same order who had been in Rhodes. Guarino mentions among his pupils Malchiores de Capitaneis whose brother (Lanfranchinus de Capitaneis) had been in Rhodes. I have discovered no references to this letter, and since it appears to be unknown, I include the following transcription of the text : Quantum discipulo praeceptor debeat nescius non es quem parentis loco omnes statuerunt. Quocirca cum Mal­ chiores de Capitaneis auditor meus sit, filii loco eum constituam est necesse. Cum vero praeter disciplinam, modestia singulari praeditus sit et probitate praecipuus plura illi debeam oportet. Caeterum cum me diligat colat et obser­ vet, omnia sibi conferam opus est. Is habet fratrem in vestro religionis ordine Rhodi commorantem Lanfranchinum nomine et nobilitate et integri­ tate primarium. Is cum meus sit fraterna familiaritate non modo amicus sed amicissimus, ut eum quoque suscipias intimum, opus est. Omnia namque inter amicos fieri communia debent. Cum meus Lanfranchinus sit, et tuus amicitiae iure fiet. Sic hominem tuam in fidem benevolentiam caritatem accipies : ut meam apud te commendationem pro eo tantum valuisse intel­ legat, ut omnia pro illo te facturum et speret et videat. Id erit mihi pergratum et tibi ornamento. Devincies quoque tibi suos consanguineos familiamque omnem quae honesta sit tum vero numerosa et multis egregiis viris ornata.
