Abstract

The collection of letters by Marcantonio Sabellico is characterized by a number of errors which have been passed down from the editio princeps (1502) to all subsequent printed editions. Within the frame of a study which aims to produce the first critical edition of these epistles, three letters are analyzed which have been variously misunderstood, especially as to the identity of the correspondents, that is: Georgios Bergikios, a philologist and copyist from Crete; Piero de’ Medici when he was very young and known as Piero il Fatuo (the eldest son and future successor of Lorenzo il Magnifico); and, finally, Emiliano Schenio, a poet from Piacenza who played a role in the humanistic debate concerning the auctor ad Herennium
