| Sumario: | Some time around 1535 Girolamo Avanzi published an innovative edition of Catullus that is very rare today. The edition is known as the editio Trincavelliana, as it has been ascribed to the printer Giovanni Francesco Trincavelli; but I showed in the previous issue of Exemplaria Classica that the volume was printed in Venice by Bartolomeo Zanetti. However, I misidentified its dedicatee, who was Alessandro Farnese the Younger (1520-1589). Avanzi’s preface contains two references that enable it to be dated between late May and mid-August 1535. The title page and the preface show that the volume was intended to include not only the poems of Catullus, but also those of Tibullus, Propertius and Gallus. Some time after the title page and the preface were set to print it was decided only to include Catullus, as is shown by a list of errata in the first gathering. The volume was probably completed in the second half of 1535. |
