Excerpt from De Duobus Persii Codicibus Qui Inter Ceteros Laurentianae Bibliothecae Servantur
In hac praefacione dicit se non poetam sed epopoen (lege se mipoetam) esse; et dicit. Se fame coactum sicut et ceteros ad scri handum aspirare conatum. Quod cum de se dicit non dubium quin de omnibus dicat.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Unveiling the intellectual landscape of the early Italian Renaissance, this book presents an in-depth examination of two significant manuscripts: the Z and the Boccaccio codices. The Z codex, a remarkable 9th-century artifact, preserves the earliest known recension of the Roman satirist Persius' works. The Boccaccio codex, penned by the renowned humanist, offers a unique glimpse into the cultural milieu of the 14th century. Through detailed analysis, the author delves into the textual variations, annotations, and scholarly insights embedded within these manuscripts, offering valuable insights into the transmission and reception of classical literature during this transformative period. By placing these codices within their historical context, the book highlights the profound influence of ancient texts on the development of Renaissance humanism and the enduring legacy of Persius as a literary and philosophical beacon.
