Two additions to the previous censuses of Albertano da Brescia’s
Liber de doctrina dicendi et tacendi vernacular tradition · This paper
offers two additions to the previous censuses of Albertano da Brescia’s
De doctrina dicendi et tacendi vernacular tradition given by Angus Graham,
Giulio Vaccaro and Paolo Divizia. The essay focuses on the bilingual
quotations from the Liber transmitted by the ms. MA 465, ex Σ iv
36, of the Biblioteca Angelo Mai of Bergamo (cc. 46r-78v) [Bg], dated
1469, and on the vernacular, shortened translation of Albertano’s work
transmitted by the ms. 179 of the Biblioteca Albornoziana del Reale
Collegio di Spagna of Bologna (cc. 425r/v) [Bo]. After a brief introduction
concerning the vast manuscript tradition of the Italian translations
of the Liber, the article will deal with the peculiarities of the texts contained
in each manuscript and the reasons of their interest.
