| Description | A bunch of Italian vernacular multi-text manuscripts which are genealogically very close to each other (dismembered MS consisting of Firenze, BNC, Panc. 24 and London, BL, Add. 26772; Paris, BNF, It. 557, its copy; Firenze, BML, Plut. 40.49 and Firenze, BR, 1094, in turn, copies of Paris MS) have already been studied quite deeply, first by Michele Barbi and Domenico De Robertis in connection Dante’s Vita nova and Rime, then by Giuliano Tanturli and Cristiano Lorenzi Biondi in connection with the figure of the scribe known as «Non bene» and through a structural approach both textual and codicological. Little remains to be said. The article focuses on MS Paris, BNF, It. 557 and the last four works – which were not in the main model and transmitted (apart from the last item) also in the two descendants –, namely: the apocryphal epistulary between Seneca and st Paul, pseudo-st Bernard’s epistle to Ramondo, a remake of the Fiori e vita di filosafi, and a vernacular version of the Disticha Catonis preceeded by a prologue of the translator. |
