La princeps di Omero per i Medici : bibliologia e storia di un esemplare di dedica

Abstract

Il saggio analizza un esemplare di dedica della princeps di Homer destinato ai Medici, esaminandone le caratteristiche bibliologiche, la storia materiale e il contesto culturale della sua produzione. Attraverso un’indagine che integra bibliografia materiale, paleografia e storia del collezionismo, viene ricostruita la funzione dell’edizione all’interno delle strategie culturali medicee e dell’ambiente umanistico della prima età moderna. L’analisi prende in considerazione gli elementi paratestuali, le annotazioni di possesso, le caratteristiche della legatura e le tracce di circolazione del volume, mostrando come l’esemplare si configuri sia come oggetto librario di pregio sia come strumento di rappresentazione culturale. Lo studio approfondisce inoltre il rapporto tra stampa greca, committenza aristocratica e diffusione di Iliad e Odyssey nell’Italia rinascimentale. Attraverso la ricostruzione della storia dell’esemplare, il contributo esamina alcuni aspetti della produzione editoriale greca tra XV e XVI secolo e il ruolo svolto dai Medici nella promozione degli studi greci. The essay examines a presentation copy of the editio princeps of Homer prepared for the Medici, focusing on its bibliological features, material history, and cultural context. Combining material bibliography, palaeography, and the history of collecting, the study reconstructs the role of the edition within Medicean cultural strategies and the broader humanistic environment of the early modern period. The analysis considers paratextual elements, ownership marks, binding features, and traces of circulation, showing how the copy functioned both as a luxury book object and as an instrument of cultural representation. The essay also explores the relationship between Greek printing, aristocratic patronage, and the dissemination of the Iliad and Odyssey in Renaissance Italy. By reconstructing the history of this copy, the contribution examines aspects of Greek printing between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the role of the Medici in the promotion of Hellenic studies.
