Pomponio Leto inaugurated a new way of interpreting Virgil’s Georgics. He made use of technical works of the classical literature (Theophrastus’ works on plants, Columella, Varro, Pliny the Elder, Strabo for geography, etc.), in order to comment on Georgics. Aurelio Brandolini, who was probably in touch with Leto during his stay in Rome (c. 1480–1490), wrote an unpublished commentary on the Georgics, which is today the ms. Vatican City, Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. lat. 2740. This commentary already presents many aspects of the new trend in Georgics inaugurated by Leto.

Abstract
Pomponio Leto inaugurated a new way of interpreting Virgil’s Georgics. He made use of technical works of the classical literature (Theophrastus’ works on plants, Columella, Varro, Pliny the Elder, Strabo for geography, etc.), in order to comment on Georgics. Aurelio Brandolini, who was probably in touch with Leto during his stay in Rome (c. 1480–1490), wrote an unpublished commentary on the Georgics, which is today the ms. Vatican City, Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. lat. 2740. This commentary already presents many aspects of the new trend in Georgics inaugurated by Leto.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
