Document Details : Title: Due nuovi codici della lettera XII dello Pseudo-Eschine nella versione latina attribuita a Leonardo Bruni Author(s): RADIF, Ludovica Journal: Latomus Volume: 83 Issue: 4 Date: 2024 Pages: 740-749 DOI: 10.2143/LAT.83.4.3294108 Abstract : Two new manuscripts of the Latin version of Pseudo-Aeschine’s Letter XII (attributed to Leonardo Bruni) are worth mentioning here. In addition to enriching the already extensive series of codices that hand it down, they provide an interesting exemplary and a survey of the entire manuscript collection of the text. The Vindobonensis on the one hand confirms its frequent inclusion alongside the Corpus Demosthenicum of the Brunian translations, and on the other the consolidated cross-cultural connection with the Latin heritage of Ciceronian oratory, also recalled in the printed tradition, an example of which is offered in a cinquecentina. The Vaticanus presents the second serial sequence found in the codices, i.e. the combination with the so-called Brunian Corpus Platonicum, an indication of a ductility in the autonomous use of the letter as an apologetic, political and philosophical paratext on the subject of exile. |
