Abstract
The article focuses on the copy of Fra Giocondo’s 1511 edition of Vitruvius’s Ten Books on Architecture housed in the Research Library of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. This treatise includes numerous marginal notes from the sixteenth century, the content and typology of which are analysed by the article’s authors in order to describe their approach in identifying the author of the writings and the process of dating. Based on the analysis of the markings and their contents, as well as by comparing the handwriting samples from the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts with the manuscripts from the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, the authors concluded that the writing belongs to the Venetian humanist Daniele Barbaro and dates to the mid-1560s.
