📜 Manuscript Libraries in the Early Modern Period 📜

The remarkable Ms. Phill. 1505, copied by Nikolaos Kokolos in Venice (1539–42), preserves Proclus’ Commentary on Theologia Platonica, enriched with marginal notes, diagrams, and textual variants. A fascinating witness to 16th-century Greek manuscript culture! #Greek #manuscripts #Renaissance @bookstodon @medievodon

📜 Happy to share my last article, which explores the life and handwriting of Bernardino Donato, a key figure in early 16th-century publishing.
His editorial contributions are reconstructed through prefaces and dedication letters.
The paper examines Donato’s script and presents a newly identified autograph: Ambr. L 109 sup. If you're interested in Renaissance publishing, Greek philology or palaeography, check it out!🔍

📚✨ As I wrap up this productive workweek, I'm fully immersed in reading the third drafts of my new article on the erudite Bernardino Donato from Verona, also exploring Ambr. L 109 sup., a codex of Eusebius's Demonstratio Evangelica, which has a very fascinating history behind it #Greek #Manuscripts #Renaissance @bookstodon @medievodons

#PellicierProject is progressing smoothly! Currently cataloging the manuscript Berol. Phill. 1632 (1539-42), which contains some books from the Bibliotheca by Diodorus Siculus, penned by Scribe A for the famous French ambassador Guillaume Pellicier during his stay in #Venice @stabi_berlin @bookstodon @medievodons #Greek #manuscripts #Renaissance

Happy to share my newly published paper on Valeriano Albini, who was a copyist and librarian at the Monastery of Sant'Antonio di Castello in Venice. This work explores his contributions within the cultural milieu of Pellicier. The paper was realized as part of the AHRC-funded project 'Greek manuscripts in Renaissance Venice: the library of Guillaume Pellicier and its contribution to Europe’s intellectual heritage.'
