Jacques Philippe d’Orville’s Grand Tour: a European trip in search of libraries, manuscripts, and ancient books

For over two years, the Dutch bibliophile and classical scholar Jacques Philippe d’Or- ville (1696-1751) travelled through Europe, visiting not only the greatest libraries of his age, but also private libraries and those located in monasteries and churches. During his trip he wrote a diary that it is today preserved in the Bodleian library in Oxford. The purpose of this article is to describe his travels and to identify the manuscripts and printed editions mentioned in his diary: a task that unveils the variety of interests he had and helps towards understanding his research method

Marcus Musurus and Pindar

The quotations from Pindar and the Pindaric scholia as collected by Musurus in the scholia on the Planudean Anthology show that he may have had the first and the second Triclinian editions of Pindar at his disposal, which supports the hypothesis of his participation in the edition of the editio princeps.This research has been funded by the Centro de Investigación en Patrimonio Histórico, Cultural y Natural (CIPHCN); and by the Junta de Andalucía through the projects “Los escolios a la Antología Planudea. Manuscritos e incunables, fuentes literarias y edición crítica (P20_01022)” and “Estudio y edición de textos griegos inéditos: los escolios de la Antología Planudea (UHU-202004)” (FEDER 2020).

Marcus Musurus and the Transmission of Greek Epigrams

In this article, we study Musurus’ conjectures on the epigrams of the Planudean Anthology by analysing the notes in the margins of a copy of the Lascaris edition (1494) held in the Vatican Library, including autograph notes of Marcus Musurus’ own scholia (Vat. III 81), together with another copy held in the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, which was used as a printer’s copy for the first two Aldine editions (Grylls 11.313). We conclude that Musurus’ role in the transmission of Greek epigrams is of greater significance than hitherto believed.Nel presente articolo si studiano le congetture di Musurus agli epigrammi dell‟Antologia Planudea, analizzando le note nei margini di una copia dell‟edizione di Lascaris (1494) conservata alla Biblioteca Vaticana, che include note autografe degli scoli dello stesso Marco Musuro (Vat. III 81), insieme con un‟altra copia conservata alla Wren Library del Trinity College, Cambridge, usata come esemplare di stampa per le prime due edizioni aldine (Grylls 11.313). La conclusione è che il ruolo di Musuro nella trasmissione degli epigrammi greci è più significativo di quanto creduto fino ad ora.‘Los escolios a la Antología Planudea.
