La Valle Camonica nella scienza antiquaria del primo Seicento
digital

Anno:
2012
SUMMARY: In the early XVIIth century in Valle Camonica, a valley of the central Italian Alps,
public officials of the Commune made use of antiquities and medieval archive documents in order
to assert the rights of their own land, providing an example of connections between historical
scholarship and political affairs. Chancellors of the Commune were in fact engaged in some
correspondence with contemporary antiquaries: chancellors Bernardino Ronchi and Alberto Isonni
with Ottavio Rossi, a widely known scholar, and with Pietro Paolo Ormanico, an acute reader
of classical inscriptions, both from Brescia. Meanwhile, Rossi and Ormanico, but also
Philippus Cluverius, professor at Leiden, were able to establish on new foundations the ancient
and medieval history of that region: sources for their studies were Roman inscriptions, relevant
to the Tribus Quirina and Res Publica Camunnorum, and ancient geographical works, medieval
Latin chronicles and medieval epigraphic monuments.

For centuries the most precious documents of the Commune of Brescia have been
preserverd in an iron coffer (cassone ferrato). A text on the martyrs Faustinus and Jovita,
printed at Brescia in 1624, tells that the coffer had been originally made to contains the relics
of the Saints, but it was soon turned to keep the documents.
Brescia 1628: un caso di erudizione politica

Anno:

In 1628 the podestà of Brescia, the Venetian patrician Domenico Ruzzini, asked the town-council
for permission to study the Liber potheris, a thirteenth-century cartulary collecting the oldest
documents of the municipality. Ruzzini looked for a medieval treaty between the emperor Frederic
II and the communes of the second Lombard League (1232), which is copied in the Liber potheris.
Ruzzini’s aim was both historical scholarship and political interest: the knowledge of the traditional
rights, possessions and privilege of the city clergy and institutions was important for his government.

Memorie di storia municipale all’inizio del Seicento: primi appunti archivistici del Comune di Brescia
digital

Anno:
2009
Some documents from the historical archive of the commune of Brescia attest that, in the early seventeenth century, the municipality of that town was institutionally preserving both epigraphical and manuscript evidences of its own history. In 1605, the text of a classic inscription was registered in one of the communal administrative books. Then, in 1607, a manuscript of Iacopo Malvezzi’s Chronicon, written by Tommaso Mercanda in 1545, was acquired by the commune. This book still lays in the city historical archive (Brescia, Archivio di Stato, Archivio Storico Civico 1463). On the
same occasion another manuscript was bought too: a copy of Cristoforo Soldo’s vernacular chronicle, indentifiable as the manuscript now Brescia, Biblioteca Queriniana, K VI 23, copied by the same Tommaso Mercanda.

Battista Farfengo e Bonifacio da Manerba: un contributo archivistico alla storia della tipografia bresciana nel Quattrocento
digital

Anno:
2006
L’attività di Battista Farfengo, tipografo a Brescia dal 1489 al 1500, ha lasciato un’impronta, oltre
che negli incunaboli pervenutici, anche in alcuni contratti d’affitto sottoscritti con il comune per una
bottega tra il 1490 e il ’98. Il primo documento, finora sconosciuto, vede la partecipazione come
garante della fideiussione di Silvestro Covi, già legato allo stampatore dalmata Bonino Bonini, e del
testimone Bonifacio da Manerba, noto ai bibliografi perché finanziatore di un’edizione bresciana del
1482, sulla cui biografia è possibile offrire qualche nuova precisazione desunta da inedite fonti
archivistiche.
