Capitolo | Per uno studio dei falsi nel manoscritto inglese di Jacopo Valvasone di Maniago (1499-1570)
Abstract
This paper aims to reconsider the manuscript by Jacopo Valvasone (1499-1570), formerly owned by the Earl of Leicester (now British Library, Additional MS 49369), which Theodor Mommsen borrowed and inspected in 1876, just before the publication of the second part of CIL V. In the letter that he wrote to thank the Vicar and Librarian of Halkham Hall, Mommsen declared that Valvasone joined “the long list of forgers”. The analysis of forgeries in Valvasone’s manuscript could show whether Mommsen was right in his opinion.
