Miseri resti di un manoscritto ciceroniano a Pavia

The study examines the ms. Pavia, Biblioteca Universitaria, Ticinesi 368, which consists of 18 sheets from an original containing Cicero’s orations (2nd quarter XVth c.). The author identifies the illuminator as Tancredi Bergami, describes the fragments and attempts a reconstruction of the original manuscript, placed within the tradition to which the ms. Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Lat. Z 427 (1655) belongs. The two manuscripts seem to have been copied by the same hand.
