Descrizione

This article studies the oration read by Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459) at the funeral of the Leonardo Bruni, the chancellor of Florence, in the basilica of Santa Croce in March 1444. An analysis of the eulogy’s models and sources is followed by a study of the transmission of the text – which survives in 21 manuscripts and was published once before, in 1741, from a single witness – and its annotated critical edition.
