Letture dionee nell'Umanesimo: tra Filelfo e Bessarione

This article considers the stemmatic relations and cultural significance of two ‘recentiores’ of Dio of Prusa (Florence, Laur. 59 37 and Toledo, Archivo y Biblioteca Capitulares, 101/13). The consistent picture resulting from analysis of the textual data, the successive layers of marginalia and the para- texts in comparison with the exemplar (Laur. 59 22), which belonged to Francesco Filelfo, suggests that both descend directly from the latter, with no intervening copy. While these facts are of no more than secondary importance for the text they add to our understanding of the circulation and treatment of Dio’s text and the use made of it in learned humanist circles in the middle of the 15th c.
