tirocinii rudimenta. Around 200AD, Marcus Junianus Justinus produced an abridged or 'epitomized' version of the Philippic Histories of the Augustan historian Pompeius Trogus. In doing so, he omitted all he did not find either intrinsically interesting or of use for historical examples. Over the centuries that followed, the abridgement eclipsed the original work in popularity, to the extent that Trogus' original work vanished and only Justin's version survived. In this investigation of the language of the Epitome, the first in almost a century, J.C. Yardley examines the work to establish how much of the text belongs to Trogus, and how much to Justin. His study compares words and expressions used in the Epitome with the usage of other Roman authors, and establishes areas where diction is similar to Augustan-era Latin and less in use in Justin's time. Yardley's extensive analysis reveals that there is more of Justin in the work than is often supposed, which may have implications for the historical credibility of the document. Yardley also demonstrates how much Trogus was influenced by his contemporary Livy as well as other Roman authors such as Sallust and Caesar, and how the Epitome reveals the influence of Roman poetry, especially the work of Virgil.
MAFFEI, Antonio. - Primogenito di Gherardo di Giovanni e di Lucia di Giovanni Seghieri da Volterra, nacque, probabilmente a Roma, alla fine degli anni '40 del XV secolo. La famiglia del MAFFEI, Antonio si era stabilita a Roma da quando il padre era divenuto notaio presso la Curia pontificia. I Maffei di Volterra rappresentano una realtà tipica dell'epoca: una dinastia familiare di curiali insediatasi stabilmente a Roma ma rimasta solidamente legata alla terra d'origine.

MANFREDI, Taddeo. - Nacque nel 1431 da Guido Antonio e da Bianca di Niccolò Trinci, signore di Foligno. Poco è noto dell'infanzia e adolescenza del MANFREDI, Taddeo: a otto anni si recò con il padre a Bologna, dove l'imperatore bizantino Giovanni Paleologo lo creò cavaliere, e frequentò per qualche tempo a Mantova la scuola di Vittorino da Feltre. Alla fine degli anni Quaranta del Quattrocento i Manfredi controllavano Faenza - su cui esercitavano da più di un secolo un'egemonia consolidata dal
The evidence of colophons in works printed by Matthaeus Cerdonis suggest something of his hectic printing schedule: he published the Pythagoras, Ludus (Goff P-1146), a quarto of nine leaves, on 21 August 1482; eight days later the present work by Bellovisu, consisting of 54 leaves, was completed; one day later, on 30 August 1482, his press completed an eight-leaf quarto by Nicolaus, Episcopus Modrusiensis (Bishop of Modruš), Oratio in funere Petri Cardinalis S. Sixti (Goff N-51).
An overview of the funeral oration for Pietro Riario by Nikola, bishop of Modruš (Nikola Modruški), published for the first time in Rome in 1474. It is a first printed book by a Croatian author, and its edition presents some very specific problems.

The papacy has often resembled a secular European monarchy more than a divinely inspired institution. Roman pontiffs bestowed great wealth on their families and forged strategic alliances with other powerful families to increase their power. Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia), for example, forced his daughter Lucrezia into a series of marriages for political reasons. When her marital alliance was no longer advantageous, as was the case in her second marriage, her husband was brutally murdered. Many papal families also intermarried in hopes of forming a hereditary papacy; at least two members of the Fieschi, Piccolomini, Della Rovere, and Medici families served as pope. Papal families since the early history of the church are fully covered in this comprehensive work. Genealogical charts graphically show the descendants of the popes, presenting in many cases the interrelationships between the papal families and their relationships with many of the leading families of Europe. Detailed histories examine the impact of the papacy on each pope's family and how each influenced the history of the church.
PLANNCK (Planke), Stephan. – Nacque a Passau, in Baviera, nel 1456 o l'anno successivo. Luogo e data di nascita si ricavano dall’iscrizione fatta apporre sulla sua tomba dalla vedova Margarete (Forcella, 1873, p. 352). Nulla si sa invece della famiglia d’origine. Le prime notizie che lo riguardano sono relative al suo coinvolgimento con il mondo dell’editoria romana dell’ultimo ventennio del Quattrocento, di cui divenne uno dei più attivi protagonisti. Alla morte di Ulrich Han (1479), uno dei

This paper, based on a preliminary inquiry about the circulation of Girolamo Aliotti’s writings, deals with the diffusion of humanist practices and its transformation into a dominating cultural movement. It is argued that this evolution was obviously a matter of very famous lay litterati, but also of more peripheral literary networks, that involve notaries, physicians, school teachers but also secular and regular clerics, living in the numerous urban centers of fifteenth century Italy. Additionally, the paper analyzes the very important and specific function of miscellanea manuscript as vector and mark of this process.
