This paper offers an analysis of the marginalia to Catullus’ poems contained in a Roman incunable (Biblioteca Casanatense, Vol. Inc. 694). Most of these notes can be traced back to the so called ‘farrago pucciana’, annotations to Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius by Francesco Pucci, a disciple of Poliziano. These marginalia were held in high esteem by 16th-century humanists, and over twenty copies of them survive today. In this paper the exemplar of the Casanatense incunable is identified and some hypotheses regarding the author of this copy and his connections with Piero Vettori are discussed, along with an outline of the tradition of the farrago pucciana.

Abstract
This paper offers an analysis of the marginalia to Catullus’ poems contained in a Roman incunable (Biblioteca Casanatense, Vol. Inc. 694). Most of these notes can be traced back to the so called ‘farrago pucciana’, annotations to Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius by Francesco Pucci, a disciple of Poliziano. These marginalia were held in high esteem by 16th-century humanists, and over twenty copies of them survive today. In this paper the exemplar of the Casanatense incunable is identified and some hypotheses regarding the author of this copy and his connections with Piero Vettori are discussed, along with an outline of the tradition of the farrago pucciana.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
