Il postillato autografo delle Prose della volgar lingua: primi appunti
The essay announces the identification of an unknown copy of the first edition of the Prose della volgar lingua (Venezia, Tacuino, 1525) which bears numerous autograph annotations by Bembo in its margins. His notes enable us to reconstruct the editorial history of the text and the changes made by its author in the second and third editions (Venezia, Marcolini, 1539 and Firenze, Torrentino, 1549), as well as detailing Bembo’s reasoning on some linguistic issues and revealing references to various sources, hitherto unidentified.
