Urceo Codro Antonio (5 results)

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Storia e Letteratura, 2023. NUOVO. XLIV + 88pp. A cura di: Cinti Federico, Ventura Giacomo. Introduzione di: Ventura Giacomo -- Sotto il titolo editoriale di Carmina inedita il volume raccoglie venti poesie inedite dell'umanista Antonio Urceo Codro (Rubiera 1446 - Bologna 1500) non comprese nell'edizione degli opera omnia stampata a Bologna nel 1502. Forse scartati o non conosciuti dai curatori della princeps, questi carmi latini permettono tanto di conoscere almeno in parte le finora sconosciute modalità della pratica poetica del maestro, quanto di illuminare alcuni passaggi, in larga misura oscuri, legati alla sua biografia. La maggior parte di queste poesie latine di natura encomiastica è ascrivibile al 1478, un anno decisivo sia per la vita di Codro, incerto se andarsene dalla Forlì di Pino III Ordelaffi per stabilirsi in cerca di protezione presso altri signori delle città emiliano-romagnole, sia, com'è noto, nella storia delle signorie italiane, segnato dalla Congiura dei pazzi e dalle guerre che scaturirono da essa. Altre poesie in alcuni casi anche semplici abbozzi sono state rinvenute in alcuni codici italiani e tedeschi appartenuti ad amici e allievi del maestro e contribuiscono a delineare nel complesso la sua figura di intellettuale.

Antonio Urceo (1446 1500) was a poet and a professor of grammar, rhetoric, poetry, and Greek at Bologna, and was engaged as a tutor by the patrician family Ordelaffi. He taught several exceptional pupils, the most illustrious being Nicolaus Copernicus; among other prominent followers was Filippo Beroaldo the younger, who prepared this edition of his teacher's collected works. 'The volume of collected work, lovingly edited soon after Urceo's death, in 1502, by his most devoted disciples (Filippo Beroaldo the younger, with the help of Jean de Pins and Bartolomeo Bianchini, and the encouragement of Antonio Galeazzo Bentivoglio, to whom the edition is dedicated) contains, besides the lectures, a small gathering of Epistolae, two books of Sylvae in verse, one Aegloga and a book of Epigrams. More than half of the volume is taken up by the lectures, which stand as the most eloquent witness to his life and his teachings' (DBI trans.). This copy was annotated by a meticulous reader, eager most of all to hunt down corrections to editors of Classics from the previous generation, embodying the contemporary spirit of dedicated minute philological enquiry as a cultural mission which transcended the mere individual texts. Barbarus, Beroaldus, Calderinus, and others are subjected to Urceo's fine-eyed analysis, which the annotator embraces and expands in the margins in a close dialogue. Expertise in Greek is also displayed in the careful and correct transcriptions of apt quotes. Adams U64; Brunet II, 121 ('Edition originale de cet ouvrage rare et recherché'); EDIT16 32581.
