Descrizione

Three historiographical works, relatively close to each other and produced within a short period of time (XIVth century and the first half of the XVth), are designated with the term epitome despite being writings of a considerable extension: Paolino Veneto’s Notabilium ystoriarum epithoma, Petrarch’s De viris illustribus in the title given by Lombardo della Seta, and Sicco Polenton’s Epithoma in vitas scriptorum illustrium Latinae linguae. The hypothesis that is defended here is that, in all of them, epitome must be understood as a synonym for compilatio: this would explain the sense of Lombardo’s choice and would restore its true title to Polenton’s work, which was rejected by Ullman in his edition.
