Codici dell'Argiropulo tra gli Utinenses Graeci
Vendruscolo, Fabio
2008
Abstract
Ten out of Utinenses Graeci, half humanistic codes, with Aristotelian texts or comments, the other half Byzantine (dating from the tenth to fourteenth centuries) with patristic or ascetic content, back to a single book collection of the first '500, that of illustrious Venetian cardinal and patriarch of Aquileia Domenico Grimani, perhaps the largest library of the Europe in that age: of these, at least eight (Utinn. 254, 255, 256II, 258, 260, 261, 262, 263) were already associated in the vast library of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, who after his death it was purchased in 1498 by Grimani. It is possible that the three Aristotelian codes (264, 265, 266) – in Florence with Pico, in Rome with Grimani, in Venice at San Giovanni di Castello, then at Antonio Capello, finally, with the patriarch Dolfin, in Udin, in the public library inaugurated in 1711 - were united from the humanistic origin, at one of the protagonists of the cultural hand over between Byzantium and modern Europe: Johannes Argiropulos.
