Abstract
The article examines the 1542 edition of the Dichiaratione fatta sopra la seconda parte delle rime della divina Vittoria Collonna [sic], written by Rinaldo Corso (1525-c. 1582), the only copy of which is now held in the library of the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici in Naples. Unknown until now, the edition is missing its final pages and therefore the publisher and location of publication are uncertain. The article shows that the 1542 edition is quite different from the well-known editions of 1543 and 1558 and casts light on how Corso composed and edited his commentaries. It also demonstrates that the 1542 edition was probably published by Bartolomeo Bonardo and Marc’Antonio da Carpi, the same publishers of the Lettura del S. Alessandro Piccolomini Infiammato fatta nell’Accademia degli Infiammati on a sonnet by Laodomia Forteguerri, published only a year before in 1541.
