Abstract

This article illustrates how the Latin translation of Boccaccio’s novella of Andreuccio da Perugia (Dec., II 5) signed in the second half of the 15th century by ‘Paulus Marchesius’ is the work of the Neapolitan jurisconsult Paolo Marchese (not Marchesi). He is also the father of Cassandra, the muse who inspired Sannazaro and the brother of the humanist Francesco Elio. The appendix presents the first modern transcription of Marchese’s previously unpublished translation, which is preserved at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Codex Vat. Barb. Lat. 2323.
