Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The paper analyzes the commentary on the civil Bellum of Lucan composed by the Mantuan Andrea da Goito, correspondent of Petrarca. The only manuscript that transmits it, today in Prague at the University Library, is identified as Andrea's own autograph. The peculiar characteristics of this commentary are studied, where the author often speaks of himself and of the impressions in him provoked by the descent into Italy of Charles IV for the imperial coronation. A large portion of the exegesis reserved by Andrea di Goito to the VI book of the Bellum civile is published in the appendix.
