Abstract

In this essay the phases that permitted the identification of the copy of Il secondo libro delle prodezze di Splandiano will be discussed; indeed, the copy of the Aggiunta al libro 5 owned by the Biblioteca Civica of Verona has been erroneously considered till now a princeps edition published in Venice in 1564 by Michele Tramezzino. Furthermore the process of transcription of this copy will be described, as well as that of the digitalization of the entire corpus, that is the Italian series of Amadís de Gaula, kept in the Veronese library.

 

En el presente estudio se ilustrarán las etapas que han llevado a la identificación del ejemplar de Il secondo libro delle prodezze di Splandiano. Aggiunta al libro 5 conservado en la Biblioteca Civica de Verona, hasta hoy erróneamente considerado como perteneciente a la edición princeps publicada en Venecia por Michele Tramezzino en 1564. Además se describirá el proceso con el que se ha llevado a cabo la transcripción de este ejemplar y la digitalización del corpus al que pertenece, o sea el ciclo italiano de Amadís de Gaula, cuya colección casi completa está presente en la biblioteca veronesa.
