L’epitaffio di santa Marcellina
digital

Anno:
2013
A Latin verse inscription (inc. «Marcellina tuos cum vita resolveret artus») was written
for the tomb of Marcellina, sister of the bishop of Milan St. Ambrose. The original stone,
placed on the burial in the Milanese basilica martyrum at the time of bishop Simplicianus
(397-401), has been lost. The epigram, however, is transmitted by two medieval manuscripts
(9th and 11th century), and by the Collectanea of Andrea Alciato (1492-1550), who modified
several details of the text for the sake of improving it, in keeping with his humanist taste. The
manuscript tradition of the poem is investigated and a critical edition with translation and commentary
is provided.

Il messale di Gian Galeazzo Visconti per S. Ambrogio (Milano, Archivio Capitolare della Basilica di S.Ambrogio
digital

Anno:
2009
The Missal given by Gian Galeazzo Visconti to the church of St Ambrose, where it is still kept (Milano, Archivio Capitolare della Basilica di S. Ambrogio, ms. M 6), was signed by the copyist Fazio Castoldi on 24 May 1400 and illuminated by Anovelo da Imbonate and other artists. It is a winter missal with a special mass for Gian Galeazzo. A short text with a genealogy of the Visconti family was soon premised. Probably in 1431, on the occasion of the coronation of the emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg in Milan, an ordo coronationis was added, then a copy of Sigismund’s charter for St Ambrose canons, then a section of summer missal. The text of the genealogy is edited here for the first time, its historical sources are traced and its significance highlighted as part of Gian Galeazzo political project of grandeur.

Three humanistic manuscripts from the family library of Duke Visconti di Modrone have been

The main series of the Archives concern the family’s business and factories (19th and 20th
Centuries); other series are older and include a collection of late medieval documents. The codices
now given in deposit were studied by important Italian scholars in the 19th and early 20th Century.
They are: MS Visconti di Modrone 1, a Petrarch manuscript, dated 1399, followed by a humanistic
miscellany; MS Visconti di Modrone 2, a collection of Chancery letters from the Visconti
milieu (Milan, early 15th Century); MS Visconti di Modrone 3, a nice 15th-Century copy of
Gasparino Barzizza’s Epistole ad exercitationem accommodate in its original blind-stamped leather
binding.
