Descrizione

SUMMARY: The discovery of 10 pages of brief notes in Pomponio Leto’s hand in the Utrecht copy of the 1486 Verona edition of Lucretius, in which in 1492 two disciples collated a codex Pomponianus and copied a Vita Lucretii, raises questions about the identity of the textual sources used. A previous hypothesis that the Utrecht book may attest a lecture course on Lucretius delivered by Pomponio is found not to be substantiated by the evidence. It is instead suggested that the disciples were simply producing their own ‘edition’ of Lucretius, as they said they were in their colophon, with occasional help and supplementary material from their teacher.
