Terranovam natale meum solum : remarks on the textual history of Poggio Bracciolini’s Historiae Florentini populi
2007
Poggio Bracciolini’s last work, the Historiae Florentini populi, was edited and dedicated to Federico di Montefeltro by Jacopo di Poggio in 1472. Jacopo also translated the work into the volgare and had it printed in Venice in 1476. In the light of the manuscript tradition, Jacopo’s editorial changes were more considerable than has hitherto been thought. The propagation of his edition and translation would seem to be intimately connected with his political aspirations ending in his unfortunate participation in the Pazzi conspiracy of 1478. peerReviewed

Una facezia di Poggio nell'«Epirota» di Tommaso de Mezzo
2014
Printed in 1483, Tommaso de Mezzo’s «Epirota» belongs to the second time of the latin humanistic comedy of the Quattrocento, characterized by a strictly imitation of Plaute (and also of Terence), more strong than in the texts of the first half of the century. The first section of this paper presents Tommaso de Mezzo’s life and works, and plot, types and subjects of «Epirota». The second part of the article offers the analysis of some scenes of the comedy, in which the author clearly employs one of Bracciolini’s «Facetiae».
Due ipotesti per un testo. La settima novella di Francesco Maria Molza
2016
This article aims to analyse Francesco Maria Molza’s not certainly attributed novella VII. Even though the text was inspired by one of Franco Sacchetti’s short stories, in the final section the author inserted a quotation-translation of Poggio Bracciolini’s facezia 143. The quotations, translations and reworkings of Bracciolini’s text demonstrate the Renaissance writer’s narrative and stylistic abilities.
The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…
