This volume presents the unabridged and annotated edition of more than 1000 annotations as well as four small drawings left by Boccaccio in the margins of Josephus Flavius’ Antiquitates Iudaicae in the manuscript Plut. 66.1 preserved at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence. The text is a codex in Benevento script produced at Monte Cassino in the 11th century, containing the original text in a “Cassiodorean” Latin translation. The work is preceded by an introductory study that provides a description of the manuscript, addresses the problem of dating and attributing notes and drawings, organizes all of Boccaccio’s contributions by type and illustrates the editorial criteria adopted.
Silvia Finazzi insegna Filologia della Letteratura italiana presso il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Universita degli Studi Roma Tre. Tra i suoi interessi scientifici figurano la tradizione manoscritta, le fonti e l’antica esegesi della Commedia di Dante; la biblioteca di Petrarca; i rimatori minori del ‘300, in particolare Gregorio d’Arezzo, dei cui componimenti ha curato la prima edizione critica; la quattrocentesca translatio in esametri della Commedia dantesca elaborata dal monaco olivetano Matteo Ronto. Un filone di ricerca particolare riguarda la biblioteca di Boccaccio, con specifica attenzione alle sue note di lettura in margine a testi classici. In quest’ultimo ambito ha gia pubblicato l’edizione critica delle postille del Certaldese a Terenzio e a Ovidio.
